Detective Chief Inspector Claudius Zorn and his chubby sidekick Schröder face to face with a crazy murderer – the eleventh volume of the cult thriller series by bestselling author Stephan Ludwig
A naked man runs through the town with a wooden cross over his shoulder. He is emaciated, his mouth was sewn together with thread. When the police apprehend him, he passes a timer to DCI Zorn and Schröder. The counter indicates that there are just over eleven hours to go. But what will happen then, at four in the morning?
The next morning the investigators know the answer: the man is dead. He was crucified, and next to his body is an upside down A.
While Zorn and Schröder are still trying to work out if the murderer is sending them a message, another timer is passed on to them. Exactly twelve hours remain. Twelve hours before another person dies. But who? And where? When they are called to a highrise in the southern part of town, they're prepared for the worst – and rightly so.
