An edge-of-the-seat thriller and a great novel about the world we live in, about people on the margins of society and about those who speculate on big money.

»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

Günter Keil / Landshuter Zeitung/Straubinger Tagblatt

Annemarie Stoltenberg / NDR, Hannover

»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
