Ein verdammter Handschlag

What do you do when a stranger offers you 6,000 euros for a handshake? Small-time criminal loser Luca Stoffels doesn’t hesitate long, as he could really use the money: not only is he broke and his argumentative ex has cleared out his place, but Luca also has debts to a dangerous gangster couple. Excited, Luca agrees, but this decision lands him in even deeper trouble: Benedikt Bosch wants Luca's soul in exchange for the cash. The black magician has sold his own soul to the demon Faffnir in exchange for happiness and unlimited success, and Faffnir is eager to collect Bosch's soul soon. However, since the deal is transferable, Bosch is off the hook if he finds someone foolish enough to take his place. With Luca, he has found that fool, as Luca doesn’t believe a word of it: Hell, demons – sure! But as soon as Luca agrees, Faffnir actually appears. Luca has only one chance: he must quickly find someone to take over the deal. The countdown is on – he has just 24 hours left! The fast-paced debut work by author Matze Ross and illustrator Jan Bintakies offers not only demonic action and devilishly witty humor but also looks hellishly good! Anyone who doesn’t take this opportunity has only themselves to blame.
