Clemens Meyer's grand societal epic of our time. A multifaceted song of the night: prostitutes, angels, and businessmen fight for money, power, and their dreams. A young woman stands by the window, gazing at the evening sky; in January, business is slow, and thoughts dance in her head. "The Horseman," the old jockey, is searching for his daughter. "The Bielefelder" is shaking up the market with new business concepts, investing in clubs and erotic centers. "AK 47" lies shot on the asphalt. Unflinchingly and tenderly, Clemens Meyer writes in his grand novel about the people, the night figures, their rise and fall, the dirt of the streets, and the flow of money. With great power and emotion, he tells the story of a city that becomes the epoch novel of our time.
