Told almost exclusively through dialogue, Konfidenz opens with a woman entering a hotel room and receiving a call from a mysterious stranger who seems to know everything about her and the reasons why she has fled her homeland.

It s story is very particular. It really is something you haven t read before or seems alike to other book stories!
