Summary:

What incredible heat! In the midst of the shimmering Berlin summer, siblings Tâm and Dennis make a disturbing discovery. In a bush on the edge of their sleepy housing estate in Berlin-Lichtenberg, they discover a single severed finger. In the course of their investigation, they have a disturbing encounter with a mysterious girl: the “girl from the parking lot” is Hoa Binh, two years older than her, and she is on the run. But is she on the run from whom? Without knowing what she has let herself in for, Tâm decides to help her.

The new graphic novel by Max and Moritz award winner Mikael Ross, with its black and white look, draws on the best film noir traditions and uses the aesthetics of Japanese manga. A heated thriller that begins between Berlin’s prefab buildings and allotment gardens, but looks far beyond them into the world.
