The start of a brand-new thriller series by No. 1 bestselling author Arno Strobel: Luisa Menkhoff and Ramin Brunner are the cold case unit!

Medical student Luisa Menkhoff recognizes the woman on the flyer immediately. Nicole Klement was the partner of the man who kidnapped Luisa when she was five. And was involved in the matter herself back then. That she is now missing, many years later, suggests only one thing: Lichner, the perpetrator from back then, wants revenge. At the Munich police, Chief Inspector Ramin Brunner, who is in the process of setting up a new Cold Case Unit, is entrusted with the case. He involves Luisa in the investigation because she is the only one who understands how Lichner ticks. Until it turns out that he cannot have anything to do with Nicole Klement's abduction. And Luisa and Ramin realize too late that they have overlooked something crucial that could be fatal for everyone involved.

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.
