FRÄULEIN GOLD: The Price of Freedom (Vol. VIII)

Berlin, 1932. Hulda Gold works as a midwife in the notorious women’s prison on Barnimstraße near Alexanderplatz, caring for pregnant inmates and mothers with their children. She has built strong relationships with the often desperate women. When a young prisoner, Martha, unexpectedly dies, Hulda feels compelled to act. The investigation is assigned to the criminal police officer Irma Siegel, whom Hulda knows – though they are not on friendly terms. Suspicion arises that Martha did not die of natural causes. The focus shifts to Martha’s cellmate, a woman already convicted of attempted murder and about to give birth. But is she truly the killer? Hulda and Irma must work together to uncover the truth, in a society becoming more politically radicalized.
