The Oath

A rollicking crime thriller in which a peaceful retirement is cut short by a grim delivery to the doorstep: the severed head of the man Ubbo - in his former role as head of Aurich police - had tried and failed to bring to justice. What might be the rest of the body shows up, but the truth is far stranger, and pretty soon the force are after a vigilante-justice serial killer. An atmospheric crime thriller popular in its native Germany.
