Das Kind

When Robert Stern agreed to this unusual meeting, he had no idea that he was entering into an appointment with death. Even less did he suspect that death would measure about 1.43 meters, wear sneakers, and step into his life smiling on a godforsaken industrial site. Criminal defense attorney Robert Stern is taken aback when he sees who the mysterious client is that he is supposed to meet in a remote and rundown industrial area: Simon, a ten-year-old boy, fragile, terminally ill, and firmly convinced that he was a murderer in a past life. However, Robert Stern's astonishment turns to horror and confusion when he actually finds human remains in the basement that Simon described: a skeleton, the skull split by an axe. And this is just the beginning. For not only does Simon report on other victims executed years ago, but soon the present will also turn deadly.
