It had been a normal day at work. Monika was locking up, ready to head home, when the man arrived. She didn't even see his fist until it was far too late. Bundled into a car, tied up and taken in darkness to an old mill in the thick of a forest, she has been flung into a bunker. It is only now, as time passes and she sees her attacker in the light, that she notices the startling resemblance to someone from her very dark and buried past, someone she never wanted to see again. Was this a robbery gone wrong? Is he Hans returned for revenge? Is she even the victim at all? With every page of this spine-tingling novel, Andrea Maria Schenkel ratchets up the tension and draws the reader deeper into the dark, dangerous and terrifying bunker of the guilty human psyche.
