Reviews
A taut psychological thriller set against the backdrop of modern Berlin.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind meets Inception.
Fitzek's thrillers are breathtaking and full of wild twists.
A claustrophobic, nightmarish work, with a powerful undercurrent of dread that recalls a horror story...The prose is stark and bare, adding to the menace. That it's all told so matter of factly makes the final twists even more shocking.
[A] current star is Sebastian Fitzek, whose The Nightwalker is...darkly fatalistic.
