But on the same day the New York stock market crashes. a dark underside of the German capital becomes revealed. A burlap sack spewed back by the floodwaters of the city sewer system contains the gnawed-on bones of children - with human teeth marks. Willi Kraus is called in to investigate the case of the Kinderfresser. the vicious Child-Eater of Berlin. Inside the sack. along with the childrens bones. is a Bible with a single phrase circled in red - children of wrath - and Kraus fears he has run into something darker than hes ever known.
