Die Einladung

Sebastian Fitzek is back. The #1 bestselling author Sebastian Fitzek takes us on a nightmarish trip to the wintery Alps in his new psychological thriller. Eagerly anticipating a long weekend in the mountains, Marla Lindberg accepts an invitation to a class reunion. But shortly after her arrival, she realizes that there is only one thing more deadly than leaving the isolated mountain hotel at night in the icy snowstorm: not leaving at all.

The invitation: Woe to those who receive it. Marla Lindberg's memories are crystal clear: the strange message that lured her to an abandoned maternity clinic, the figure that tried to kill her, and the oddly whistling cough of the psychopath during their life-and-death struggle. After years of psychotherapy, the highly intelligent young woman has learned that all of this are false memories. Marla suffers from prosopagnosia. Her brain plays tricks on her in extreme situations as it desperately tries to recognize people by their faces.

When Marla receives the invitation to the class reunion in the Alps, she hopes to indulge in beautiful and genuine memories with her former classmates. Upon her arrival at the snow-covered mountain hotel, all the rooms are already occupied. Used dishes are left on the dining table, the fireplace flickers, yet no one is there. Marla begins to search for the others. And then she hears it again: someone coughing while whistling, outside, in the icy darkness.

Pure tension - thriller meets horror. With a setting full of subtle horror elements, Sebastian Fitzek guarantees goosebumps. The new psychological thriller from Germany's most successful thriller author also surprises with more than one unpredictable twist.
