On the Trail of Those Who Defrauded the State of Millions
Spring 2018: In Duisburg, a man shoots himself in the early hours of the morning; in London, another is killed by a mysterious car; on Capri, everyone is talking about murder, but neither a body nor blood can be found at the scene of the crime. This cannot be a coincidence, as Frankfurt police officer Vera Berg knows. Mourning her late husband Zaid, she travels to Capri in search of answers. What was he hiding from her? Was Erik, her husband's long-time friend and colleague, not murdered in his villa after all? And if not, where is he? And where is her daughter, who simply disappeared after her father's death? Zaid, Freddy and Erik are university friends who wanted to make big money and whose stock transactions operate in the all-too-popular grey area – until a prosecutor takes notice of them and everything
spirals out of control.
Oliver Bottini masterfully recounts what unbridled greed can lead to: politically explosive and highly suspenseful.
