Passenger 23 - A Psychological Thriller by Sebastian Fitzek

Every year, 23 people vanish without a trace during a cruise somewhere in the world - no explanation, no clues. No one has ever come back. Until now.

Half a year after her disappearance, little Anouk suddenly reappears. She is clutching a teddy bear - but it isn't hers. Shortly after, police psychologist Martin Schwartz receives a mysterious call that forces him to board the cruise ship "Sultan of the Seas".

For him, it marks the return of a nightmare he thought he had left behind: five years ago, on this very ship, he lost his wife and son. Their disappearance was never solved. Now new evidence surfaces that changes everything - and the teddy bear seems to be the key.

As the ship carries thousands of passengers toward New York, the tension reaches a breaking point. A traumatised girl, a broken man - and a killer who is far from finished.

A gripping psychological thriller by Sebastian Fitzek about guilt, loss and the darkest corners of the human mind.
