The Nameless Day

Detective Chief Superintendent Jakob Franck has been retired for two months and feels that he can now start to lead a life in which he leaves behind the dead - until a case from his past catches up with him.Franck was the detective responsible for bringing the news of their relatives' death to the bereaved, a task he carried out stoically, calm and collected. But twenty years ago, he comforted the mother of a dead seventeen-year-old girl, for hours, through the night, without saying a word. And as he begins to enjoy retirement, he is contacted by Ludwig Winther, the father of the girl and husband of the woman that Franck devoted so much attention to back then. Twenty years have passed, and Winther still doesn't believe that his daughter killed herself, despite an unambiguous report by the medical examiner. According to him, his daughter's death can't have been anything but murder. Former police detective Jakob Franck begins to shed light upon the particulars of the young girl's death, starts to bring a dead case back to life. In doing so, he follows his very own method of Gedankenfühligkeit, a sensory-conceptual abstraction of facts and thoughts guided by intuition - a method that is inimitable and unsurpassed when it comes to solving the most complicated and surprising cases.
