Review
"A beautifully translated thriller, not a drop of blood on its pages. The nastiness takes place off-stage which makes it all the more threatening." BBC 2 Television "Culture" "A dark thriller in the Patricia Highsmith tradition. Kettenbach's protagonist, the bad tempered, foul-mouthed Jupp, is approaching retirement, and is devastated by the death of his long-time employer, the only person for whom he had any affection. The police have concluded that she died in an accident, but Jupp is convinced that her husband was responsible and he determines to prove the man's guilt. The slow build up to the cruel and bitter ending displays Kettenbach's skill and confirms his reputation as one of Germany's leading crime writers." Sunday Telegraph
