Wife and mother Cora Bender is at a lakeside family picnic when she violently kills a
man in a nearby party, repeatedly stabbing him with a knife. Cora confesses
immediately to her crime but her case becomes an obsessive quest for motive and
understanding for police Commissioner Rudolf Grovian. The more Grovian learns
about Cora, the more firmly he believes she is also a victim and that the answers to
the murder lie buried in the past, bound up with the dynamics of Cora's deeply
dysfunctional family. A mesmerising psychological mystery full of shifting truths and
the treacherous tricks of memory. Brooding, adult, intelligent and tantalising.
Hammersfahr, a best-selling German novelist, is another example of the excellent
crime writers that Bitter Lemon is introducing to the UK.
