As a young man, Gerhard Self served as a Nazi prosecutor. After the
war he was barred from the judicial system and so became a private
investigator. He has never, however, forgotten his complicity in
evil.
Hired by a childhood friend, the aging Self searches for a prankish
hacker who's invaded the computer system of a Rhineland chemical
plant. But his investigation leads to murder, and from there to the
charnel house of Germany's past, where the secrets of powerful
corporations lie among the bones of numberless dead. What ensues is
a taut, psychologically complex, and densely atmospheric moral
thriller featuring a shrewd, self-mocking protagonist.
