Spiegel Bestseller # 1
An edge-of-the-seat thriller about the scary possibilities of science.
A small pink elephant that glows in the dark like an alien. Only one person knows where this enchanting creature came from: the genetic scientist Roux. And he has big plans for this global sensation. Or is it something sacred that must be hidden and protected? That’s what Kaung thinks, a Burmese elephant-whisperer who was present at the animal’s birth. An exploration of borderline territories, in more ways than one.

Praise by the German press:
»This is a multi-layered, often moving novel, which despite dispensing with brutal depictions of violence [...] reads in many parts like a gripping thriller.«
Thomas Burmeister / dpa, Hamburg
»Martin Suter writes with his familiar deft touch, using language which never feels false, with elegantly concise dialogue and, as always, humour too.«
Arno Renggli / St. Galler Tagblatt
»The topic [genetic engineering] is serious, the pace swift, the plot as always excellently constructed.«
Martin Ebel / Tages-Anzeiger, Zurich
