Obviously, The Nightwalker plays into the greatest fear of those who suffer from somnambulism: doing bizarre, if not horrendous, things while semi-conscious and then being unable to remember any of it once awoken. Although, like its protagonist, you could lose your mind trying to make complete sense of it all, you’ll surely be entranced every step of the way. A “psychological thrill-ride” about “an insomniac wondering if his nighttime excursions have turned into something beyond his imagination”, the hardcover is a consistently gripping and surprising mystery whose grisly visuals, ceaseless tension, emotional poignancy, and inventive narrative methods help forgive some of its confusing nature and implausible reveals. Born in 1971, his first book, Die Therapie, arrived in 2006, and since then, he’s averaged almost two a year (plus had his third work, 2008’s Das Kind - The Child - turned into a film in 2012).Įasily one of his most popular works is 2013’s Der Nachtwandler, which was recently translated as The Nightwalker for English-speaking audiences. German novelist and journalist Sebastian Fitzek must be one of the most prolific modern thriller writers.
