Context: The Hans Fallada Prize is a German literary prize given by the city of Neumünster in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein.  Since 1981 it has been normally awarded every two years to a young author from the German-speaking world.  It is named in honor of Hans Fallada, a famous 20th-century German author known for addressing political and social problems of his day in fiction. Hans Fallada (born Rudolf Wilhelm Friedrich Ditzen; 21 July 18935 February 1947) was a German writer of the first half of the 20th century.  Some of his better known novels include "Little Man, What Now? " (1932) and "Every Man Dies Alone" (1947).  His works belong predominantly to the New Objectivity literary style, with precise details and journalistic veneration of the facts.  Fallada's pseudonym derives from a combination of characters found in the Grimm's Fairy Tales: the protagonist of "Hans in Luck" (KHM 83) and a horse named Falada in "The Goose Girl".

The first segment of the book, "Dick Contino's Blues," is a novella about Contino tracking down a serial killer while trying to repair his public image after being labeled a draft-dodger.
