DUEL IN THE NIGHT Jonas Birke, a new inspector in the Frankfurt homicide division, has only one night to make the charge stick on the man arrested for the murder of a former police officer because his boss is set on announcing the suspect’s name to the press the next morning. One night – normally enough time considering the man's previous record and all the evidence points to his actually having committed the crime. But as far as Birke is concerned, a suspect is not guilty until every single doubt has been removed – and there are just too many loose ends...
