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 Ani'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. As the special task force is unable
to make any progress in the case and the family is unable to deal
with the loss, Franck-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 duty-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
"thought sensitivity," an abstract, intuitive process that may very
well lead him to the "fossil"-that crucial piece of information he
needs to solve the case. Once again, Ani combines deep sorrow,
human darkness, and breath-taking tension in a novel whose
melancholy can hardly be surpassed.
