Mit dem reist er eines Tages nach Berlin: Beerdigung eines alten Kollegen von Bröhmann senior. Doch in der Hauptstadt geschieht etwas Unerwartetes, Schreckliches. Ein gewaltsamer Tod. Nein, zwei.

Und: Faber verzichtet bei all seinen Pointen und Wendungen nicht auf Tiefgang.» (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung)
