Anna and Abel couldn’t be more different. They are both seventeen and in their last year of school, but while Anna lives in a nice old town house and comes from a well-to-do family, Abel, the school drug dealer, lives in a big, prisonlike tower block at the edge of town. Anna is afraid of him until she realizes that he is caring for his six-year-old sister on his own. Fascinated, Anna follows the two and listens as Abel tells little Micha the story of a tiny queen assailed by dark forces. It’s a beautiful fairy tale that Anna comes to see has a basis in reality. Abel is in real danger of losing Micha to their abusive father and to his own inability to make ends meet. Anna gradually falls in love with Abel, but when his “enemies” begin to turn up dead, she fears she has fallen for a murderer. Has she? Award-winning author Antonia Michaelis moves in a bold new direction with her latest novel: a dark, haunting, contemporary story that is part mystery, part romance, and part melodrama.

Work Description
Geliebter Mörder? Atemlos spannend - ein Meisterwerk von Antonia Michaelis!
Abel Tannatek ist ein Außenseiter, ein Schulschwänzer und Drogendealer. Wider besseres Wissen verliebt Anna sich rettungslos in ihn. Denn es gibt noch einen anderen Abel: den sanften, traurigen Jungen, der für seine Schwester sorgt und der ein Märchen erzählt, das Anna tief berührt. Doch die Grenzen zwischen Realität und Fantasie verschwimmen. Was, wenn das Märchen gar kein Märchen ist, sondern grausame Wirklichkeit? Was, wenn Annas schlimmste Befürchtungen wahr werden? Ein temporeicher Thriller und eine zu Herzen gehende Liebesgeschichte – lässt nicht los! Eindrucksvoll, begeisternd und abwechslungsreich.
