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
