The search for a missing Soviet officer leads Jimmy, Klara, Graves, and Powell into the smoke-filled corners of East Berlin’s underworld. At a crumbling hotel near Friedrichstraße Station, they arrive just minutes too late—only to witness the officer gunned down before he can talk. But in his final breath, he leaves behind one last clue: a freight manifest pointing to Bad Aibling. Atlas is moving something—and time is running out.
