In order to find out how he behaves in his sleep, Leon fits a movement activated camera to his forehead – and when he looks at the video the next morning he makes a discovery that bursts the borders of his imagination. His nocturnal personality goes through a door that is totally unknown to him and descends into the darkness….

Reviews

HARLAN COBEN, International #1 Bestseller
Fitzek's thrillers are breathtaking and full of wild twists.
Guardian on SPLINTER
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind meets Inception.
The Times on SPLINTER
A taut psychological thriller set against the backdrop of modern Berlin.
Irish Independent on Sunday
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.
Independent
[A] current star is Sebastian Fitzek, whose The Nightwalker is...darkly fatalistic.
