Der Beobachter

A man who lives only at a distance observes strange women and wants to know everything about them. One of them has taken a particular hold of him, but the image he has formed of her does not hold up to reality.

At the same time, a series of murders unsettles the city, and the victims have one thing in common: they live alone. Anyone who looks as closely as he does easily falls into a whirlpool of obsession and fear, from which there is no simple escape.

How close are observer and perpetrator to each other, and who in the end is watching whom? The question draws the reader into a story in which closeness and danger are not far apart.
