HE KNOWS WHAT HELL DO. AND THE POLICE KNOW WHEN HELL DO IT.

The Cologne police know a woman is going to die. They know the day it will happen.
And theyre powerless to stop it.

They call on an outside expert: Jan Fabel, head of Hamburgs Murder Squad and Germanys leading authority on serial killers.

Fabel is on the point of leaving the police for good, but Carnival in Cologne is a time when the world goes crazy, and he is drawn into the hunt for the Carnival Cannibal. What he doesnt know is that he is on a collision course with a crack special forces unit from Ukraine and a disturbed colleague with a score to settle.

Fabel finds himself on a trail of betrayal and vengeance, violence and death. And once more he faces his greatest enemy. The true Master of the Carnival.
