content

For the first time in 30 years, Brenner is back in his home town, the Graz district of Puntigam , at the very moment when the situation around his ex-police school friends comes to a head, with whom he has a childhood sin. The references to this, which readers of the previous five volumes are already familiar with, are deepened and lead to a criminal act in which Brenner becomes involved and in which - even more extreme than in Come, sweet death - it is difficult to decide whether he is more of a persecuted person or an investigator is. While Brenner ultimately survived the showdown, the previously unknown first-person narrator of the Brenner series is shot.
