| book description |

German author Friedrich Ani combines deep sorrow, human darkness, and breath-taking tension in his latest crime novel. Happiness is extinguished completely one cold November night when eleven-year-old Lennard Grabbe fails to return home. Thirty-four days later, he is found to have been murdered, and former inspector Jakob Franck, the protagonist of Friedrich Aniâ€™s previous novel The Nameless Day, is entrusted with delivering the most horrible news any parent could ever dream of, setting off a chain reaction of grief among family and friends. Â As the special task force is unable to make any progress in the case and the family is unable to deal with the loss, Franckâ€”driven by the need to bring them clarity but also by the painful memories of all the unsolved murder cases from when he was still on active dutyâ€”buries himself in witness statements and reports up to the point of exhaustion. He spends hours at the crime scene and employs his special technique of â€œthought sensitivity,â€ an abstract, intuitive process that may very well lead him to the â€œfossilâ€â€”that crucial piece of information he needs to solve the case. Â Once again, Ani combines deep sorrow, human darkness, and breath-taking tension in a novel whose melancholy can hardly be surpassed.
