Saying you`re sorry may not save your life¦
Four childhood friends, leaving their 20s and out of luck. Kris just got fired “ he`ll never be a journalist now.
Tamara never had a steady job, and she`s just given custody of her daughter to her former lover. Wolf`s
girlfriend has died of an overdose. Frauke`s mother has been put in an asylum and she`s freaked. They`re a
disaffected bunch of losers, going nowhere. Then during one reckless drunken evening, they come up with a joke of an idea: everyone in the world “ large corporations, businessmen, lovers “ behaves shittily to someone, and rarely do they apologise. They will set up an agency that, for a fat fee, does the apologising and makes things right. The agency, which they call SORRY, becomes a runaway success. Sorry visits injured party after injured party and offers the right apology, along with financial compensation. Soon the four former down-and-outs are living almost like millionaires, in a beautiful old large villa looking out over Berlin`s Wannsee River. But all of this comes to a screeching halt on the day Wolf goes to an apartment on the instructions of a new client, sees the door is ajar, walks in, and finds a woman hanging from a wall, with one nail driven through her hands and one through her forehead. What follows is a sequence of events “ kidnapping, torture, more deaths that gradually declare themselves as a bewildering and intensifying
psychological game of cat-and-mouse. After reading the shattering climax of this book, nobody will ever say sorry in quite the same way again.ISBN 9780007460427
