Description:
'A writer you take to your heart.' Vrij Nederland

Summer is coming to Furth am See, a small town in Austria. Hotel terraces are filling up, students are waiting for their report cards, and a man falls out of an apple tree. At least that's what he tells the doctor, but it looks more like he's been beaten up. A nun ends up in intensive care with cat food in her lungs and she has no idea how that happened. A child is kidnapped, but no ransom is demanded. And the office building of a councillor, who is co-owner of a construction company, is defaced with graffiti by unknown persons.
Psychiatrist Raffael Horn and inspector Ludwig Kovacs become involved in the events. Using the few clues, they try to understand what happened independently of each other. From the visitors of the youth center De Come in, the refugees from De Burcht, a cunning entrepreneur, to priest Joseph Bauer, who secretly listens to Leonard Cohen through his earphones during mass.
Hochgatterer describes his characters with unerring psychological insight and brings them together in a story in which everything is connected to everything, and in which it slowly becomes clear what is going on. This great literary quality was also immediately recognized in his previous novels and acclaimed by the press:

'To be read twice.' **** de Volkskrant
