A dangerous psychopath has taken over Berlin's leading radio station and is holding everyone inside hostage in the terrifying and twisted new thriller from Sebastian Fitzek.
Good morning, Berlin. It's 7.35 AM. And you're listening to your biggest nightmare. This morning a dangerous psychopath is playing an old game with new rules. He's taken six people hostage at Berlin's leading radio station. Every hour, a telephone will ring somewhere in Berlin. Maybe it will be in your house. Or your office. And if you can't play the game, a hostage will die.
Renowned police psychologist Ira Samin is rushed to the scene, where she is forced to negotiate live on air. With the nation listening, the kidnapper makes his sole demand: find his fiancee and bring her to the station. But she is dead. Burnt to a crisp in a devastating car accident eight months ago.
Facing an impossible demand and a police commander who seems hell-bent on keeping secrets, Ira must race against the clock to resolve one of the hardest negotiations of her career. All the while, somewhere in Berlin... a telephone is ringing.
The first in a powerfully unsettling trilogy by the master of the
psychothriller, Sebastian Fitzek. First he kills the mother, then
he kidnaps the child. The grieving father is given 45 hours to
search. If the child isn't found, they die, captive. The press call
him the Eye Collector. Because the horror doesn't end with the
murders. Every body discovered has had the left eye removed. When
evidence implicates police officer turned journalist Alexander
Zorbach, who has championed the case against the Eye Collector, he
becomes the main suspect. Meanwhile, a mysterious witness comes
forward. Alina Gregoriev, a blind physiotherapist, claims to be
able to see into the lives of her patients simply by touching their
body. She says she treated the Eye Collector yesterday… Perfect
for fans of Adrian McKinty, John Marrs and Chris Carter. Reviews

wild twists' Harlan Coben 'Sebastian Fitzek is simply amazing. I
truly hope that one day I will be able to create suspense and plot
twists in the way only Sebastian can. A true Master of his craft'

International number one bestseller Sebastian Fitzek plunges
readers into the depths of their own souls in a new high-concept
thriller. The Soul Breaker destroys women. He doesn't kill them, or
mutilate them. But he leaves them completely dead inside, paralysed
and catatonic. His only trace a note left in their hands. There are
three known victims when suddenly the abductions stop. The Soul
Breaker has tired of his game, it seems. Meanwhile, a man has been
found in the snow outside an exclusive psychiatric clinic. He has
no recollection of who he is, or why he is there. Unable to match
him to any of the police's missing people, the nurses call him
Casper. Casper makes little progress regaining his memory, but he
grows restless and wants to leave the clinic to piece together the
few clues to his life. But the weather has taken a turn for the
worse, and the clinic becomes completely cut off to the world
outside. No one is able to reach the clinic, and its staff and
patients cannot leave. So when the head psychiatrist is found
trembling, naked and distraught, with a slip of paper clasped in
her hands, it seems somehow the Soul Breaker has returned...

All you've done is taken in a parcel for a neighbour. You have no
idea what you've let into your home. Emma's the one that got away.
The only survivor of a killer known in the tabloids as 'the barber'
- because of the trophies he takes from his victims. Or she thinks
she was. The police aren't convinced. Nor is her husband. She never
even saw her tormentor properly, but now she recognises him in
every man. Questioning her sanity, she gives up her job as a doctor
in the local hospital and retreats from the world. It is better to
stay at home. Quiet. Anonymous. Safe. He won't find her here. And
all she did was take a parcel for a neighbour. She has no idea what
she's let into her home.
The terrifying new psychological thriller by internationally
bestselling phenomenon Sebastian Fitzek. Walk Me Home is Fitzek's
most enthralling work to date. The Walk Me Home telephone helpline
service has proved indispensable. Staffed by volunteers, it
provides a reassuring voice at the end of the phone, helping to
protect lone women as they walk home at night. Jules has only been
working for Walk Me Home for a short time and has never had to deal
with a truly life-threatening situation. But that all changes one
Saturday night when Klara calls. The young woman is terrified. She
thinks she is being followed by a man. A man from her past. A man
who drew a date in blood on her bedroom wall. And that day dawns in
less than two hours... For Klara - and Jules - the stakes have
never been higher. Will either of them ever make it home again?

Sebastian Fitzek, Germany's king of the thriller, is taking over
the airwaves with a new, twisted and terrifying thriller. 'Good
morning, Berlin. It's 7.35 AM. And you're listening to your biggest
nightmare.' Today, renowned criminal psychologist Ira Samin is
going to die. The grief from her daughter's death has been too
overwhelming, and she just can't go on any longer. She's planned
every detail meticulously. She's going to go out on her own terms,
with a drink in hand to toast to oblivion. But fate has other plans
for her. A psychopath has taken over the city's leading radio
station and is holding everyone inside hostage. For each hostage he
calls a number from the phonebook, at random. If they answer with a
specific slogan, a hostage goes free. If they don't, a hostage
dies. So the police call in Ira to negotiate. The man has only one
demand: he will stop his twisted game once his fiancee is brought
to him. His fiancee who has been dead for months...

Germany's king of the thriller takes to the skies with a terrifying
and twisted new novel. Psychiatrist Mats Kruger knows that his
irrational fear of flying is just that - irrational. He knows that
flying is nineteen times safer than driving. He also knows that if
something does happen on a plane, the worst place to be is seat 7A.
That's why on his first plane journey in 20 years - to be with his
only daughter as she gives birth - he's booked seat 7A, so no one
else can sit there. If no one is sat there, surely nothing will go
wrong. But shortly after take-off, Mats receives a worrying phone
call. The caller has kidnapped his daughter and will murder her -
and her unborn child - unless Mats convinces the pilot to crash the
plane, killing everyone on board. As the plane nears its
destination, Mats must make an impossible choice and face the fact
he might be the arbiter of his own worst fear.

Every year, on average 23 people disappear without a trace from cruise
ships, presumed suicides or tragic accidents.
No one has ever come back.
Until now.
Five years ago police psychologist Martin Schwartz lost his wife and
son. They were holidaying on a cruise ship when they simply vanished. A
lacklustre investigation was unable to shed any light on what happened
- murder-suicide was the coroner's verdict. It is a verdict that has
haunted Martin ever since, blighting his life.
But now he has been contacted by an elderly woman, a writer, who claims
to have information regarding their fate and wants him to come on board
the Sultan of the Seas immediately.
She explains that his wife and son are not the only mother-and-child
pair to have disappeared. Only a few months ago another mother and
daughter also vanished. It appears there may be a serial killer on
board.
But when the missing daughter reappears - carrying Martin's son's
beloved teddy bear - it becomes apparent that the truth could be much,
much worse...

Bestselling author Sebastian Fitzek sends you on an ingeniously
disturbing journey with his brand new psychological thriller. A
missing child. A desperate father. A terrible secret. Serial killer
Guido T has already confessed to two horrific child murders and led
the Berlin police to the horribly disfigured bodies. The police are
sure he is also the kidnapper and murderer of six-year-old Max, who
disappeared without trace a year ago. But now Guido T, who is being
held in the high-security ward of a psychiatric prison hospital, is
staying silent. The investigators have no reliable evidence. And
without the prisoner's statement, Max's parents will have no
certainty and will never be able to say goodbye to their son. But
then an investigator from the homicide commission makes Max's
desperate father an unbelievable offer: he will smuggle the
distraught parent into the hospital where Guido T is imprisoned.
Max's father will be listed as a fake patient, equipped with a fake
medical record. He will be as close as he possibly can to the child
killer, and plans to force the killer into a confession. Because
nothing is worse than uncertainty. Or so he thinks. Until he, as an
inmate, learns the gruesome truth... Reviewers on Sebastian Fitzek:

My name is Simon. I'm 10 years old. I'm a serial killer. Robert
Stern, a successful defence lawyer, doesn't know what lies in store
for him when he agrees to meet a new client in a derelict estate on
the outskirts of Berlin. To his astonishment, the defendant is a
ten-year-old boy - Simon - a fragile child with a chronic illness
who insists that he was a murderer in a former life. Stern's
surprise quickly turns to horror as he searches the cellar Simon
has directed him to and discovers the skeletal remains of a man,

this is only the beginning, as Simon tells Stern where to find even
more victims whose bodies have lain undisturbed for years.
Suddenly, the present feels murderously dangerous as well... The
Child is a darkly twisting, page-turning thriller that will make
your heart pound with adrenaline.
