The Naked King

Four years ago, a bullet in the thigh destroyed Alexander Hinkel's chances of becoming a police captain. But that didn't do anything to his ability to see through a suspect's lies. On the contrary, his instincts and observations are sharper than ever. That's why his ex-colleagues still come knocking on Hinkel's door when they get stuck with investigations. In the city of Agrippa, where crime is rife, there are currently more unsolved murders than the police can handle, and Hinkel earns good money from freelance detective work. He has only one condition: He works alone.

The rich business magnate, Bernard Nichol, hosts an exclusive dinner at his mansion, and Hinkel and Janke are amongst a handful of invited guests. Nobody knows what the big announcement is Nichol plans to make, and as the guests arrive, the tension mounts. But before the announcement can be made, Nichol is found dead in his study. Naked. Someone wanted to stop him. Someone wanted to humiliate him. Someone wanted to send a message...
