K a witness, no tracks, no corpse. Josy, the 12-year-old daughter of the well-known psychiatrist Viktor Larenz, disappears under mysterious circumstances. Their fate remains unknown. Four years later: The grieving Victor has retreated to a remote house on a small island. But a beautiful stranger him down there. She is suffering from schizophrenic delusions. It appears to her again a little girl who disappears without a trace as well as once Josy. Have their hallucinations something to do with the disappearance of his daughter? Viktor begins with the therapy of the mysterious unknown, which is more and more to the dramatic interrogation ... The twelve year old Josy suffers from stronger bursts of a disease that knows no doctor to diagnose. Her father, the celebrity psychiatrist Dr. Viktor Larenz tried everything to help her sell his practice and looks at her with a doctor after another. Negative.

Four years later, Larenz pulls back to the island Parkum, to wade through the questions of an interview and at the same time work up the last four years since the disappearance of his daughter. He feels dead inside, the uncertainty is gnawing at him. Suddenly an unknown woman at his door and wants to be treated by him. His interest is piqued when she speaks of her delusions. From a young girl who resembles his daughter. More than similar. Too many comments suspect, and he remembers to investigate ...
The story has a very high level of narrative pace is thrilling and exciting. And always surprising. So often that people are hardly believe it. I managed only one (!) Reading break at the beginning of the novel. After that, it had me so in his claws, that I had just read. More information. More questions. The curiosity is so piqued, I have had no chance ;-)
The 330 pages in 60 chapters insanely good entertainment. Where an otherwise chapter a suitable point to break offers, it is exactly the opposite: tense Cliff Hanger.
The most exciting question is not, although the blurb suggests what happened to `Larenz daughter. It's about fiction and reality, truth and perception.
able to change the levels of history. the reader feels at first like the company of Dr. Roth, Larenz tells his story, but more changes the perspective. Because the narrator can only get here and there, the reader little more knowledge than his protagonists. Mistrust and wonder is stirring and it is conjecture on conjecture about that change with any more, resolve confusion. Soon is you are just looking for answers, as the desperate, troubled by a cold, Larenz.
The resolution, like peeling an onion. Layer by layer, painful and surprising. To the core.
Brilliant and highly recommended. Grand designs. Absolutely unpredictable.
