Happiness is murdered when 11-year-old Lennard Grabbe goes missing and is later found as a murder victim. Former commissioner Jakob Franck delivers the most terrible news to the parents. While the special commission is at a standstill and the family struggles to cope with their loss, Franck immerses himself in witness statements and reports, spending hours at the crime scene. He is driven not only by the need to provide clarity for the family but also by painful memories of the unsolved murder cases from his career. Following the award-winning first installment of the Jakob Franck series, "The Nameless Day," comes the long-awaited second part. Friedrich Ani once again combines boundless sadness, human depths, and breathless tension.
