Fans of political satire, world history, and crime thrillers rejoice – Babylon Berlin is a graphic novel adaptation of the book that inspired the award-winning show available on Netflix!

Faced with Russians, Mafia, and even his fellow police officers, the detective soon realized he can trust no-one – as he stumbles into an ever-growing criminal investigation surrounding drugs, pornography, and an illegal sex ring.
A deep dive into the seedy underbelly of 1929 Berlin, littered with gorgeously baroque splash pages and all manner of Raymond Chandler-esque twists and turns!
