The Coffin

• Arno Strobel makes the ultimate nightmare come true. His hero has been buried alive! Or is it all just a bad dream?
• Whereas Strobel’s Das Skript was more of a classic thriller, Der Sarg focuses much more on psychologically motivated tension.
• The previous novel Das Skript is a great hit with readers: ‘impossible to put down’, ‘absolutely recommended’, ‘serious competition for Sebastian Fitzek’, ‘a real masterpiece’, ‘a top thriller!!!’

Buried alive – best-selling author Arno Strobel plays on our worst fears.

She wakes up. It’s dark. Too dark. She can’t see a thing.
No light through the blind, no luminous numbers on the alarm clock.
Nothing.
She wants to sit up. She can’t. Her head bumps against wood.
She is trapped.
She is lying in a coffin.
And nobody can hear her scream.

• Arno Strobel has sold over 200,000 paperbacks
• Psychologically shocking, highly compelling, breathlessly tense

Arno Strobel

Arno Strobel, born in 1962 in Saarlouis, is one of Germany’s most successful thriller writers. All his thrillers have been bestsellers. Before dedicating himself exclusively to writing, he spent many years working for a large German bank in Luxembourg. Strobel loves borderline experiences, and likes to share them with his readers. That is why his thrillers are like exciting journeys of discovery into the dark corners of the human soul, and go beyond even the most primal fears. He derives most of his themes from everyday life, and when he cannot shake off an idea and wants to get to the bottom of it with the help of his network of experts, he knows that the foundation of his next book is being laid. He lives as a freelance writer near Trier.
