Just as a major environmental summit is about to start in Hamburg, there is a massive storm hitting the city. After the flood waters recede, a headless torso is found washed up. At first Jan believes this may just be another victim of a serial rapist and murderer who is stalking his victims through social network websites, then dumps their bodies in waterways around the city. But he soon discovers that the situation is far more complex and even more sinister. Fabel's investigations lead him to a secretive environmental Doomsday cult called 'Pharos', the brainchild of a reclusive, crippled billionaire, Dominik Korn. Fabel finds his skills as a policeman are being tested to their limits as he is drawn into an unfamiliar, high-tech world of cyberspace, where anyone can be anybody or anything they want. Jan quickly figures out that he is no longer the hunter, but the hunted."--Publisher
