Löwen wecken

A neurosurgeon hits an illegal immigrant. There are no witnesses, and the man is going to die anyway—so why jeopardize his career by reporting the accident? But the next day, the victim's wife stands at the doctor's doorstep and makes him a proposal that completely derails his orderly life. How would one act in such a situation? This question looms over the novel, which masterfully explores the boundaries between love and hate, guilt and forgiveness, as well as good and evil.
