    About “Der Schatten-Code”

    A man who knows his way around digital traces accepts a request that leads him into the past of a family. Soon he is in deeper than he would like.

    In the background the danger grows, because people from the underworld see him as an obstacle. An offer arrives that sounds like a trap, and the police would gladly see him behind bars.

    Can he find the trail in time to reunite a family, or will he end up caught between the factions? The second case in the series about C.T. Ferguson combines online investigation with hard street fighting.

    Who is “Der Schatten-Code” for?

    For readers of hacker thrillers with a private investigator, the underworld and a moral gray zone. The tone is hard and fast-paced, with action and technical touches. Readers who know the series will follow Ferguson further, and readers who enjoy crime novels with an IT theme will find a direct way in here.

    When is “Der Schatten-Code” the best read?

    At just over 300 pages, the thriller suits an evening when you do not want to stop, or a long train journey. Autumn and winter, with their dark evenings, match the mood of the book. Readers who like hacker stories with an urban backdrop will enjoy reading the volume in a single week with few distractions, so that the many clues stay in mind.
