<DIV><b>A high-ranking German sailor is accused of petty, brutal murder</b></div><DIV></div><DIV>As Allied bombers rain death on the German submarine pens of occupied France, police inspectors Jean-Louis St-Cyr and Hermann Kohler stumble through the darkness to a crime scene. A shopkeeper lies dead, head bashed in with a railway tie, surrounded by fragments of a shattered porcelain doll. It appears to be an open-and-shut case, which would make the detectives&rsquo; job simple if the obvious suspect weren&rsquo;t a decorated U-Boat commander.</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>Feared by the British, beloved by his crew, Kapit&auml;n Kaestner is a killer with a hobby: the manufacture of high-quality dolls. Before World War I ruined their business, generations of Kaestners produced the finest dolls on the continent. The shopkeeper&rsquo;s death comes not long after he and Kaestner fail to revive the dollmaking trade. Now, shrouded by a blackout, St-Cyr and Kohler begin the unenviable task of pinning a murder on the pride of the German fleet.</div>
