This month we picked an author well known for his psychological thrillers. This author’s books have been translated in over 24 different languages. We are proud to announce that the author of the month is Sebastien Fitzek, the first German author to be awarded the European prize for criminal literature. Sebastien Fitzek always serves us readers with impossible to put down thrillers. He packs his books with multiple plot twists that keeps the reader intrigued until the end.
Here is a glimpse of some of his books that we enjoyed this month:
SOUL BREAKER
Three women go missing without a trace, the women are dead, dead only psychologically. They are bodies without a soul. This psychopath is known as the “Soul Breaker”. He leaves his victims paralyzed and in a catatonic state. A day before Christmas the soul breaker strikes again, but in a psychiatric clinic. After a bad snowstorm that has cut-off the power and telephone communication with the outside world, the staff and patients are stuck there with the Soul Breaker in their proximity. Will they be able to escape?
PASSENGER 23

He is contacted by someone who might have some information on where they may have gone. Martin then discovers that another mother and child pair have disappeared, causing suspicions to rise, of a serial killer on board. Will Martin be able to get to the bottom of this?
THE PACKAGE

If you couldn’t tell from the descriptions of the books above, Sebastien Fitzek has created some real nail-biters. Each of these works of art will have you on the edge of your seat, on a rollercoaster ride that you pray will end soon, only so you can jump back on to do it all again, and again… and again.
