If you loved The Testament of Dr. Mabuse, try Dr. Mabuse, the Gambler

What they share

What Dr. Mabuse, the Gambler is
The squalor of 1920s Berlin, winter’s cough in the air. A ring of spies signals across stock tickers. A top-hatted hypnotist buys a nightclub star’s secrets for a single orchid. Commissioner von Wenk counts losses in a café where every napkin bears a signature he can’t read.
