5.0

A series of murders occur in Hamburg, where the victims are men with histories of violence towards women. Prosecutor Chastity Riley slowly descends into a moral grey area between justice and vengeance.  Buchholz's signature dark, macabre, melancholic and witty style, shines through each word in this crime noir novella.
