Violetta by Pieke Biermann

Inspector Karin Lietze returns from holiday to find that nothing has changed, except for the worse. The sun is even hotter, the coffee machine doesn't work, and there are two serial killers on the loose. The Stamper strangles foreign women and stamps T for Turk, C for Chilean or P for Pole on their heads. Another kills men after sex, with a karate chop to the neck, and then there is the JoAnne Little Brigade, taking revenge on men for violence against women... A gripping story of tension and pressure in Berlin, the summer before the Wall came down.
