Gerd Sehling, a former narcotics investigator and now a true-crime tour guide on the Reeperbahn, stumbles into a new case when a petty criminal with a backpack full of drugs falls at his feet. Sehling's instincts are immediately aroused – something bigger must be going on.

While the narcotics squad investigates dealers, pimps, and smugglers, Gerd pursues promising leads on his own, exploring bars, brothels, and bunker apartments in the red-light district. His investigations take him deep into the abyss of organized crime, and he risks everything to expose the masterminds.

Ben Westphal's *The Cop on St. Pauli* is a suspenseful, authentic crime novel that captivates from the first page to the last. Rich in local color, the author once again demonstrates his expertise in portraying the darker side of Hamburg.

'Finally, crime novels where the author really knows what he's writing about.' - NDR Hamburg Journal on The Bull in HafenCity
