Bestselling author Volker Kutscher’s successful crime series featuring investigator Gereon Rath forms the basis of the cult TV series “Babylon Berlin”. Rath is the tenth book in the series and the grand finale. Volker Kutscher brings his hit series to a shocking close, with formidable tension, deep historical insight and psychological characterization. On his return from the US, Gereon makes his way to Berlin to support Charly. She has to free Hannah Singer from the Wittenau Sanitorium and defend Fritze, who is suspected of murder. Anti-Semitism is growing, and a development that Charly saw coming and Gereon has long denied culminates in the pogroms of Kristallnacht. Both of them recognize that it’s no longer possible to live in Germany as things are. It’s time to resist. With music by Julian and Roman Wasserfuhr (trumpet and piano) and Jörg Brinkmann (cello). Text: Fritzi Haberlandt; Host: Knut Elstermann
