Items related to Bunker
In the woods there lies a bunker. And in that bunker a man and woman are playing a dark and dangerous game of cat-and-mouse...Monika has been kidnapped. But she is not the innocent victim that she might at first appear. She has noticed that her kidnapper bears a more than passing resemblance to Hans, the boy she framed many years ago for the murder of her own brother. Her abductor, meanwhile, is vicious and violent. But his motives are unclear. Is he seeking revenge? Or is he merely toying with his victim for his personal enjoyment? The story of Bunker unfolds in Andrea Maria Schenkel's trademark dislocated narrative. From the outset we know that a man has been trapped in the bunker, and that an unnamed victim is being treated in hospital for horrific injuries. The mystery is how this point has been reached, and what appalling hells of the human psyche must be passed through to get there.

Review:
'Chilling, claustrophobic' Irish Times. (Irish Times)
'Nerve-shatterlingly realistic ... This novel works as powerfully as Bernhard Schlink's The Reader as an extraordinary paradigm of the effects of war on the German psyche, and is as intense an experience' Jane Jakeman, Independent. (Independent)

It had been a normal day at work.
Monika was locking up, ready to head home, when the man arrived. She didn't see his fist until it was far too late.
Bundled into a car, tied up and taken in darkness to an old mill in the thick of a forest, she has been flung into a bunker. It is only now, as time passes and she sees her attacker in the light, that she notices the startling resemblance to someone from her very dark and buried past.
Someone she never wanted to see again.
With every tense page of this spine-tingling novel, the author of The Murder Farm and Ice Cold confirms her position as one of the best European crime writers of her generation.
