Another great Fitzek book that I loved. It took a while to get into the book, but when I was at that point I couldn't put it down. The story is written in an incredibly exciting way and addresses important issues in our society. The book is very graphic and not for people with weak nerves. The ending really shocked me and I didn't expect the plot twists. They first where a bit overwhelming but after finishing  the book and thinking about the whole story, I must say the story was really well thought out and written!
