Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The hero of the book, the Reporter, is asked to assist in a police investigation following the murder of one of his compatriots, a Romanian immigrant that has been involved in criminal activities.

His efforts are duly rewarded with finding true love and a reason to be happy thereafter. The biblical prediction-that he would find again the bread he had cast away-is thus fulfilled. …
