Amissa

The Lost Ones

Gritty thriller about missing teenagers and the dubious dealings of a globally active charity.
SPIEGEL best-selling author Andreas Winkelmann writes as Frank Kodiak.

For readers of Sebastian Fitzek and Michael Tsokos

One rainy autumn night, private detectives Jan and Rica Kantzius are witnesses to a horrific incident at a motorway service station: a panicked girl runs directly in front of a car and all help comes too late. At the service station the body of a man is found. He had apparently kidnapped the girl and then shot himself. The private detectives start researching and discover that there is another teenager, who disappeared in a similar way just after moving house. A clue leads to “Amissa”, a charity which searches for missing persons around the world and for which Rica works. Suddenly, everything has changed, and Rica and Jan find things out that they would have rather not known.
