East Germany, 1975. Karin M ller, sidelined from the murder squad in Berlin, jumps at the chance to be sent south to Halle-Neustadt, where a pair of infant twins have gone missing. But M ller soon finds her problems have followed her. Halle-Neustadt is a new town--the pride of the communist state--and she and her team are forbidden by the Stasi from publicizing the disappearances, lest they tarnish the town's flawless image. Meanwhile, in the eerily nameless streets and tower blocks, a child snatcher lurks, and the clock is ticking to rescue the twins alive.
