The Bookseller
About to go on trial for defrauding the banks of millions, con man and corporate criminal Siegfried Heidl offers broke writer Kif Kehlmann a deal he can't refuse: ! 10 000 for Kehlmnn to ghostwrite his memoir in six weeks.
As the Deadline draws closer and Heidl grows increasingly erratic, Kehlmann becomes unsure if he is ghostwriting a memoir, or of Heidi is rewriting him - his life, his future.
As tension slowly mounts, boundaries and identities blur, everything that was certain grows uncertain and the young writer finds himself no longer sure if he is Kif Kehlmann - or a murderous criminal.
