A sleepy town lost in the Alps, Christmas Eve, fog. From the house where the Christmas trees shine with lights and presents lie, to the local church festively decorated—only three hundred meters. But young Anna Lou never showed up at church… Omnipresent journalists, photo-reporters, and TV crews besiege the town. Each of them is desperate to be the first to report sensational news about the progress of the investigation. And a special agent, Fogel, skillfully takes advantage of this by drawing attention to his own person.
But what, in truth, happened to the quiet red-haired girl—and what does a stray cat have to do with it?.. In his new thriller “The Girl in the Fog,” Donato Carrisi treats the familiar plot of a disappearance without a trace in his signature paradoxical style.
