It seems the perfect idyll but it breathes pure evil: the Village
Sitting primly in her wheelchair, stiff as a mummy, wearing her pearls and Chanel suit, the last inhabitant of the Village is found shot through her head. Hers is not the first unexplained death in the apparently idyllic settlement on the Isar river: twenty years ago, eighteen corpses were discovered laid out around a camp fire. All had been among the first to move into the newly planned settlement – but what dark secrets did they bring with them? And what evil still lurks in the Village? As chief inspector Eva Schnee starts looking for connections between the two cases while fighting her own ghosts of the past, anonymous messages seem to guide her way. But what is real and what isn’t in this strange place?
With cunningly interwoven story lines and fast-paced writing, this bestselling author gives us what we fear most: the horror that lies right on our doorstep.
