Outrage (vol. I)
Hideously mutilated corpses and a killer straight out of our darkest nightmares
Frankfurt, 1800. Three dead bodies are discovered, each disfigured in an unusual way, and the city is plunged into fear. Rumours of religiously motivated killings are rife. Only two people hold a different view: newspaper editor Johann and Manon, whose father – the coroner – performed the autopsies on the victims’ remains. Johann and Manon realise that the crimes bear the hallmark of an infamous murderer. He was known as the Eel, yet the Eel was executed years ago – Johann witnessed it with his own eyes. By the time he and Manon uncover the truth, it’s nearly too late …
Diabolically tense, bloody, cryptic: Frankfurt around 1800 is no place for the faint-hearted.
