Author new, just jump right in with both feet! As I read the first paragraphs I felt a strong pull to the character who had gone through what I had --loss of a beloved child. Familiar desire to hide and lick wounds, aching for him. Elizabeth came along and added her anxiety for her own lost son; I read faster and faster and soon met the kindred policeman who linked himself with me and became a friend as we began the search for the truth about the missing young man from America. Jan-Philipp Sender has a remarkable gift with words and story. I will read anything he has written from now on.

Highly recommended for anyone who is willing to feel and to hope and love.
