Arno Strobel

Author

Arno Strobel loves pushing the boundaries and enjoys sharing these experiences with his readers. That is why his thrillers are like thrilling journeys of discovery into the dark corners of the human soul, delving even into our deepest primal fears. He usually finds inspiration for his themes in everyday life, and it is only when an idea won’t let him go and he feels the urge to get to the bottom of it immediately with the help of his network of experts that he knows the foundation for his next novel has been laid. All his thrillers to date have been bestsellers. Arno Strobel lives near Trier and works as a freelance author.

And sure enough, on the map in the app they see it as a blue dot, just as it’s approaching the motorway slip road. Without giving it much thought, they follow the car in which they suspect their luggage is. But then it’s too late – they’re trapped. Because someone has deliberately lured them to this spot. And their worst nightmare begins right now…
