“He looked at the skyline, the face of the city, shaped by financial towers. Lights everywhere. Lies underneath. And we expose them, he thought. Each in their own way. Wegmann, digging in the dirt. Rebecca, doing the same in bodies. And you, you find the shit in their souls.”

January 2003: A car crashes, a body turns up, and a killer dies. What begins as a coincidence evolves into a web of sex, doubt, power, and murder. It could be Chief Inspector Gerd Wegmann’s last case.

FAINTING. A Sex & Crime Noir thriller.
