Die Tyrannei des Schmetterlings

The new novel by bestselling author Frank Schätzing, "The Tyranny of the Butterfly," takes the reader to the limits of the imaginable. California, Sierra Nevada. Luther Opoku, sheriff of the sleepy gold mining region of Sierra in California's mountainous terrain, struggles with petty crimes, illegal drug cultivation, and constant staff shortages. But the events of that morning change everything. A woman has mysteriously fallen into a gorge. Accident? Murder? The investigation leads Luther to a research facility, isolated in the high mountains and operated by the powerful Nordvisk Inc., a high-tech corporation from two hundred miles away in Silicon Valley. Together with Deputy Sheriff Ruth Underwood, Luther finds himself caught in a whirlwind of absurd events during the investigation and soon begins to doubt his own sanity. Time itself begins to unravel. The secret in the mountain takes him to the limits of the imaginable—and beyond.
