The Inmate

Six-year-old Till Berkhoff disappeared without a trace. All signs point to Guido Tramnitz, a notorious child molester and serial killer now confined to a high-security psychiatric hospital for the criminally insane. Tramnitz admitted to his horrors, but he refuses to reveal where he buried young Till, leaving Till's father, Sven, trapped in a relentless nightmare of uncertainty.

Desperate for closure, Sven makes an unthinkable choice: he falsifies a psychiatric diagnosis and has himself committed to the same high-security facility as "The Inmate." Trapped in a dark world alongside violent psychopaths and guarded corridors, Sven must risk his sanity and his life to force the killer into revealing the devastating truth before it is lost forever.

Because it is an intensely gripping, dark psychological thriller about the lengths a father will go to for his child, set in an eerie asylum filled with chilling twists and Fitzek’s signature storytelling.

For fans of intense psychological thrillers, dark asylum mysteries, mind games, and high-stakes stories of vengeance and fatherly devotion.
