All he wants is your house, your wife, your life …

When Thomas Bennett arrives home from a holiday with his girlfriend, Saskia, and unlocks the door, he instantly knows that something’s wrong. The furniture has been moved, dirty pots and pans are lying around in the kitchen, even the towels smell different… Then he feels a sudden sharp pain in his head and blacks out. He wakes up in hospital and finds out that Saskia has been missing without a trace since the attack. He begins a frantic search for her, who told him during their holiday that she was expecting a baby. Teaming up with police investigator Priska Wagner, he picks up the trail of a particularly dangerous murderer. Dubbed “The House Sitter”, he lives in the homes of his victims while they’re on holiday. He wants their lives, and everything that goes with them, at any cost …

Andreas Winkelmann

As a child and teenager, Andreas Winkelmann devoured the eerie stories of John Sinclair and Stephen King. This sparked his deep desire to write and instill fear in others. Today, his thrillers are among the hardest-hitting and most-read in the German-speaking world. His books pull readers in from the first line, plunging them into a dark labyrinth with no apparent escape. Winkelmann's stories are grounded in the everyday lives of his audience and told in a stark, realistic style. Fittingly, he writes in the attic of a 400-year-old house near the woods outside Bremen.
