The Last Temptation (Wire in Blood 3)

Travel Guide

Berlin

“From both land and water, the place looked like a deserted, rundown boat repair yard”

So from the start, Berlin is not shown in the light the tourists would recognise. There are shades of grey and dark khaki green and even “the iridescent hues of a pigeon’s throat”

This is the abandoned industrial landscape on the banks of the Danube – a city with many scars on its landscape but one now where the shadows are moving and men are lurking.

Years after the horrendous events of transporting people by the train load, a van pulls up and several bodies emerge…

The sections of the book set in  Germany really delve into the dark dark history of the city and the country at large. Human trafficking, transportation of humans, abuse, control, drugs – both then and now – come back to haunt.

A serial killer is seeking revenge on experimental psychologists – something practiced during the worst of Nazi atrocities and now thought to be  responsible for abuse  consequences now.

Bradfield (Yorkshire)

Bradfield is a fictional town in West Yorkshire. Despite there being a suburb of Sheffield called Bradfield, this is not it since it’s a small and rural suburb.

However for a real journey in Bradfield, it would actually make more sense to head north past Sheffield and Bradford of course as these two cities gave Bradfield its name after all.

The TV series was actually filmed in the North East of England in Newcastle and the surrounding areas – Gateshead and Durham to name but two. This was as the star of the show – Robson Green himself – wanted to keep the filming and work in the North East.
