A dead woman is found in the ruins of an old farmhouse. Her body bears the same injuries as the victim of the murderer known as the Butcher – except that he’s in prison. Was the murderer a copycat killer? And if he was, how did he know what the Butcher did with his victims? Only the investigators had access to the details of that case.
Then another person disappears, a woman with whom police detective Bruno Cavalli had a casual affair. Will he succeed in finding her in time? The murderer seems to have inside information, and that means the only person Cavalli can trust is public prosecutor Regina Flint. Soon everyone on Cavalli’s investigating team begins to mistrust everyone else; even close relationships are marred by suspicion.
“Deep Scars” (German: Tiefe Narben) is the fifth case Regina Flint and Bruno Cavalli solve together.
“Petra Ivanov is a master of suspense.”
