Summary: In the tradition of Hermon Koch's "The Dinner," this is a cleverly constructed nerve-fraying novel that will enthrall readers. The famous novelist Linda Conrads hasn't set foot over the threshold of her villa for more than eleven years. Only very few know that she is tormented by a dark memory. When she was young, Linda saw the murderer fleeing after killing her sister. His face haunts her until one day when that exact face appears - it belongs to high-profile journalist Victor Lenzen. She decides to set a trap to catch Victor by writing a novel based on the death of her sister and promote the book through one interview - with Victor.
