One-Way Ticket
Literature & Fiction
When Homicide Detective Thomas Ritter transfers to Hamburg, he has no idea he has stepped into the biggest police scandal in the city’s history. No one told Ritter that his new partner, Motz Beck, is a moody biker with family ties to local mob boss Willi Kaiser, who controls the red-light district. Or that Kaiser is fighting a hostile takeover from the head of the Albanian mafia, the silent real estate partner of a prominent senator. After Hamburg’s top cop is found dead in a Kaiser whorehouse, Ritter and Beck conclude that the only people they trust less than each other are their bosses in City Hall.

Inspiration
One-Way Ticket tells the story of a troubled homicide detective who has just transferred to Hamburg, giving readers a look at the city through the eyes of an outsider. It features the usual noir anti-heroes -- cops, criminals, and people who are both -- who struggle with their inner demons. The biggest surprise for me was the love affair between a domina and her ex-con girlfriend, which appeared out of nowhere, took on a life of its own, and ended up driving the rest of the story.
