Georg Klein's novels are so thrilling and filled with such an oppressive atmosphere that one wants to read them in a single night. Libidissi is the name of a fantastic oriental city where the German secret agent Spaik and his local adopted daughter Lieschen live. When malice and a desire for destruction from Spaik's old homeland reach out for them, the agent and the girl defend themselves against their pursuers, a self-absorbed killer couple, using the secrets of Libidissi as well as old European virtues. A novel that lies between Kafka and Grisham: enigmatic and exciting.
