Der Heimweg

Jules Tannberg volunteers at the Heimwegtelefon, a service that stays on the phone with people who feel unsafe walking home at night. One evening he takes a call from a woman named Klara, who says she is being followed by a man. As the call goes on, Jules realizes that her story is connected to his own past and that he may be the only person who can help her. Sebastian Fitzek builds a psychological thriller in which the action takes place largely in a single phone conversation, with several twists and a focus on abuse and fear.

It's for readers who like fast-paced German thrillers with plot reversals. If you like suspense told through a limited setting and a ticking clock, this is for you.

Practical, clear-cut and escapist; an easy read.

Best for readers like The Escapist Adventurer. Which reader are you?
