    About this book:. 
The story of a psychopath. 
Karl Liebknecht - the main character of this novel - loses his young wife and parents on the same day in a car accident caused by a drunk Yugoslav lorry driver. Liebknecht, a conscientious case worker at the social welfare office, withdraws more and more into himself until one day he unintentionally kills a young Yugoslavian girl. He tells himself that she was 'only' a member of the same people who had killed his family. Liebknecht comes into contact with neo-Nazi circles and begins to hunt down foreign drug dealers and prostitutes. Initially, the victims are merely beaten up - but later Liebknecht, who has begun to steel his body through strength training, switches to locking the victims in his cellar and then murdering them. Liebknecht kidnaps the wife of Inspector Werner, who suspected the real perpetrator very early on but was unable to produce any evidence, and makes her play sex games with three Africans in front of a hidden camera. Liebknecht sends the recorded videos to the press and police and begins a game of cat and mouse to break free from the boredom of daily monotony. The inspector's assistant detective is also kidnapped and murdered. Liebknecht transforms from a staid civil servant into a sarcastic monster, but loves his black housekeeper Agatha, who supports him wholeheartedly in his perverse misdeeds....

On a transatlantic flight, the two black sheep of Sigma Force—Seichan and Kowalski—must set aside their mutual dislike as a mysterious fiery force knocks their aircraft out of the sky. This unlikely duo must use every skill, weapon, and bit of ingenuity to survive a night on a remote volcanic island, where their only refuge is the haunted, bat-plagued grounds of a seemingly deserted resort. But something horrific awaits the two, something born of the latest science but rooted in our basest human instincts. To survive they will need to learn to work together—but even then, it may be too late.

    It's 1912, and protagonist Helen Fox is a factory worker living in New York's tenements. When tragedy strikes in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, Helen is seduced by the Suffragist cause and is soon immersed, working alongside famous activists. 
 
 
 
As Helen's involvement with the cause deepens, she encounters myriad sources of tension that test her perseverance: estrangement from her husband, who is blindsided by his wife's sudden activism; ostracization by neighbors; unease at working side by side with wealthier suffragettes; and worry about her children as she leaves them to picket the White House in Washington. 
 
 
 
The narrative spans World War One and concludes with the triumph of 1919. In a time when the obstacles for women, from any background, were insurmountable, Helen discovers her voice as an independent woman and dreams of equality in a male-dominated society.
