In the organizer's words:

Start of the new cold case series from the No. 1 bestselling author

Medical student Luisa Menkhoff knows the missing woman on the flyer. It's been years since she saw her. But she can still remember her as if it were yesterday. Nicole Klement was the partner of the man who abducted Luisa when she was five years old. And she was also involved at the time.

Luisa immediately contacts the Munich police and meets Chief Inspector Ramin Brunner, who is in the process of setting up a new cold-case unit to solve old cases using modern methods. When Luisa tells him the circumstances of her abduction as a child, Ramin is astounded. Luisa has an eidetic memory and remembers every detail of a situation she once experienced. And everything she says indicates that her former abductor - Dr. Joachim Lichner - now has Nicole Klement in his power.

Luisa is called in as an external consultant on the current missing persons case. Until it becomes clear that she must have been mistaken. Because there are indications that it couldn't have been Lichner. But why does Luisa feel she is being watched? She and Ramin realize too late that they have overlooked something crucial that could prove fatal for everyone involved.

Arno Strobel loves borderline experiences and enjoys sharing them with his readers. That is why his thrillers are like exciting journeys of discovery into the dark corners of the human soul and do not stop at even the most primal fears. He usually tracks down his themes in everyday life and only when he can no longer let go of an idea and wants to get to the bottom of it immediately with the help of his network of experts does he know that the foundation for his next novel has been laid. All his previous thrillers have been bestsellers.

Arno Strobel lives as a freelance author near Trier.
