Hans Windelband finds himself, at age 26, among the living dead. He lives alone in a small apartment in Oslo, his life a mere hollow of an existence, without purpose or direction. This wasn't what he had expected; somehow his life has gone terribly astray, but caught in a web of uselessness and despair, he lacks the strength or desire to try and determine precisely what went wrong -- until he opens the morning newspaper and reads his own obituary! Was this a mistake?, a macabre joke?, who was behind this? -- and why? Who had stolen his identity and will be buried with his name in the West Cemetery in just three days? Hans Windelband has been given a purpose, a kind of second chance. The hunt begins! Norwegian novelist Lars Saaybe Christensen has written a brilliantly crafted crime fiction that will simply mesmerise readers from beginning to end!
