Summary
Kaiser’s hand drops from his mouth and comes to a rest on his knee, leaving a dark print on his trousers.
“I did it.”
Alexis doesn't run, or retch. He tends to Kaiser’s wounds, at least the ones on his skin; every touch lights Kaiser's nerves up but he does his best to stay still, tilts his head to offer him a better angle, exposing his pulse point, his collarbone.
“Go home. I'll bury him myself.”
"I’m not leaving you on your own, ever again."It's 199X at the dreary urban outskirts of Berlin. Neglected, invisible Alexis finds Michael at the age of ten and loses him at fourteen. The next time they meet, Michael has spent years trying to kill the boy Alexis has been trying, in turn, to outgrow, but they crash into each other’s orbit all the same and every attempt to stay apart proves itself impossible; the past has a habit of clawing its way out of the ground where you buried it.
So, the day Alexis walks into the house at the end of the street to a corpse on the kitchen floor and his childhood friend drenched in blood, the decision is already made.Two teenagers, a dead body and a van: a coming-of-age thriller romance in three acts.
