A thrilling novel from Germany with plenty of suspense, new perspectives, and a dash of eroticism.

Immerse yourself in the always exciting and liberal atmosphere of contemporary Berlin and Germany.

Berlin, 2022. Anja, a bisexual lawyer, had done everything right. But her successful life as a powerful ministerial official comes apart at the seams. Her husband is arrested. She is suddenly subject to police checks, told to be a security risk, and is suspended. All of this cannot possibly be a coincidence. Someone is out to get her, but who, and why? While investigating, Anja discovers even more: Her husband cheated on her. The relationship to her juvenile son, who does not live with her, needs a reboot.

Anja has to find a way to live authentically while not being vulnerable anymore. An unexpected helper enlightens her about the foundation of her life. She starts changing her life, and slowly she understands how important her sexuality is - what lust has to do with power, with freedom, with strength. And with extortion.

"Do you actually know what a shock it is to many that you not only have a complex private life, but that you are happy with it and have no problem?"
