“It was the first time since Expo 2000 that things happening in Hanover interested the rest of the country.”
Crime scene: Hanover. A young man is found dead on the banks of the Ihme River, his inline skates still on. A murder case with all the trappings: an investigative team groping in the dark, autopsy reports, interrogations, suspense—and an attentive journalist who seems to know more about the case than Inspector Rita Aitzinger herself. Together with her colleague Ilia Schuster, she faces many mysteries: Why did the young man have to die so young? What is behind this murder? And what role does the pop song he'd been listening to on repeat play? The investigation navigates the team through Hanover—from Ihmepark to the burger bars of Linden to the State Opera—and into the depths of dating apps.
What begins as a classic crime story increasingly unfolds as an exploration of human emotions and the depths of the abyss. With a keen sense of sensitivity, Jakob Nolte tells the story of lonely boys, of longing, and the search for happiness.
