ONE ASSASSIN. ONE SERIAL KILLER. TWO ANGELS OF DEATH.

After a gap of ten years, a female serial killer - the Angel of St Pauli - again makes the headlines when an English pop star is found in Hamburg''s red-light district, dying of the most savage knife wounds. Jan Fabel is called in to investigate.

Links emerge with a series of apparently unrelated events. A journalist murdered in Norway. The death of a Serbian gangster. And a long-forgotten project by East Germany''s Stasi conceived at the height of the Cold War, involving a highly-trained group of female assassins, known by the codename Valkyrie.

Fabel''s hunt for the truth will bring him up against the most terrifyingly efficient professional killer. The ultimate avenging angel.
