Author Bernhard Schlink

Narrator Sergey Kirsanov

For the first time in Russian, a series of three detective novels by Bernhard Schlink— the author of the famous «The Reader»—is being published. Gerhard Selb, a charismatic private detective already familiar to our readers from the first novel in the series («Selb’s Justice»), takes up the case again—something that only at first glance looks like a straightforward, strictly private investigation. At the request of a man who introduces himself as the missing girl’s father, the search for a missing girl turns into a real adventure detective story, in which love and politics, idealism and terrorism, the present and the past, and deception and self-deception intertwine in a curious way. As the clever Selb noted, «all murders are committed in order to justify one or another self-deception»—and readers will have to find this out for themselves in the second novel of the series, aptly titled «Selb’s Deception».
