The gripping new thriller by bestselling author Elias Haller.

Someone like me deserves hell. Yet I am neither evil nor good. But hell is not my problem today; a seven-year-old girl is.

He kills women and mutilates their bodies. The press calls him the Photographer. For nine years, investigators from the BKA have been hunting him. Every year, there is a victim, of whom he always takes just a single photo and sells it to the highest bidder. This is his form of art that no one can understand. He is a phantom and wants to remain one until his mission is complete. He has long chosen this year's photographic subject, in some city in Germany. Everything is precisely prepared. Nothing can stop him from executing his plan—except perhaps little Maria. The seven-year-old has vanished without a trace. And he was the last to see her.
