A sleek Ferrari in the sleepy English village of Little Molting was always going to create a stir—but for schoolteacher Kelly it only means one thing. Her ex, Alekos Zagorakis, has stormed back into her life the way he left it: completely on his own terms. Four years ago Kelly stood, bridal bouquet in hand, realizing that her gorgeous groom wasn't walking down the aisle to meet her. Now he's come back to claim what's rightfully his—and that includes one night with Kelly…. But it's a night that has lasting consequences!

Tras la aparentemente trivial historia de Eduvigis, la mujer mantis, la autora nos invita a reflexionar sobre la enfermedad que azota a la humanidad, sobre el fracaso de una sociedad que no deja de devorarse a sí misma. Una narración dinámica donde los personajes y sus descalabros dejan en el lector un lugar para la reflexión introspectiva.

Right after returning from vacation, Inspector Pia Kirchhoff receives a call from her boss. She is to report immediately to a place in Kelkheim where a body of a night watchman from a wind power company has been found. She starts her investigation by talking to the people against the building of the turbines. A few appear to be motivated by personal reasons. The more she looks into the case, the more suspects she finds. The author combines the hot topic of alternative energy with corporate corruption to create a one-of-a-kind novel.
