GIER - Wie weit würdest du gehen?

When fiction becomes reality, Marc Elsberg turns it into a bestseller. Following Blackout, Zero, and Helix, he presents a new thriller on an explosive topic. "Stop the greed!" they shout, and "More justice!" People around the world are in turmoil. They are protesting against impending austerity measures, mass unemployment, and hunger – the consequences of a new economic crisis that is driving banks, companies, and states into bankruptcy. National and international conflicts are escalating. Only a few wealthy individuals are the winners. At a special summit in Berlin, solutions are to be found. The renowned Nobel laureate Herbert Thompson is set to deliver a speech that could change the world, as he supposedly has found the formula for prosperity for all. However, he will not get the chance. In a car accident, Thompson and his assistant die – but there is a witness who knows it was murder, and he gets drawn into a dangerous game. Jan Wutte wants to uncover the truth behind the formula, but the killers are hot on his trail.
