Head Detective Jan Fabel of Hamburg's police department heads up an investigation of serial killings of women. The killings are extremely brutal and grotesque in nature and represent a mythological ritual that may lead to the killer and his motives.
Fable is an interesting character and well developed. He is surrounded by a good supporting cast of lower level detectives and others in the police department. His personal life is show just enough to keep him a real enough person to enjoy over a series. Hamburg, Germany is a great place for a series to take place as it 's not the same old New York, LA, etc.

Red Rabbit is a suspenseful Cold War thriller that harkens back to the time of President Ronald Reagan, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, and The Iron Curtain. It is a well-written, well-researched blast from the past, and full of page-turning tension. The style of writing is different than it is today, and Clancy is too verbose, but it is still eye-opening, entertaining, and valuable. There is some unnecessary language, and some of the details are a bit gory. Nonetheless, I enjoyed Red Rabbit, and I am looking forward to reading the next Tom Clancy thriller.
