'Smart Home' – When the wish for security turns into a death trap …

It sounds almost too good to be true. The best neighbourhood, a house with Smart-Home, everything controllable through an App, at all times and from anywhere. And also completely secure. Hendrik and Linda are over the moon when they move in. This is the home they had always imagined sharing together.

But then one night Linda disappears. There's no message, no clues, not the slightest trace of her. The police are at a loss. Hendrik is about to crack up. Could someone have got into the house that night? And if they did, why did the App not trigger the alarm straightaway?

Hendrik feels increasingly under scrutiny. And rightly so, because it's not just the App that knows where he lives …

'You don't need a book mark when you're reading one of Arno Strobel's thrillers, since you can't put them down. Thrilling and nerve-racking!'

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.
