Thomas Elbel Book order

Born in Marburg, the author's upbringing in a quiet Lower Saxony town was profoundly shaped by their parents' careers as a judge and prosecutor. This proximity to legal cases, even as a teenager, exposed them to the darker aspects of human nature, contrasting sharply with the seemingly idyllic provincial life. This dual perspective fuels their writing, exploring the hidden malevolence that lurks beneath the surface of everyday existence. The author often reflects on this underlying darkness, questioning what might lie concealed behind ordinary facades.
