Eternal Life (18 page)

The report, now. These things don’t just happen right away, Brenner thought, and it was only six-thirty. And maybe before I get started I’ll take a Migradon. Because, needless to say, talking on the phone only made his headache worse.

First he goes to the mailbox, maybe some welcome news. But only a letter from the Civil Service Housing Authority. It looked so official that Brenner thought better of opening it up today.

Now, the report. He would’ve preferred hitting the sack, even though it was only just after six-thirty. Because three Migradons, and not the slightest effect. But, no wonder, because people would remember this year for a long time to come.

Now, one thing you can’t forget. It was already the twenty-fifth of September. And still twenty-seven degrees Celsius. And believe it or not. Thirteen hours later, Brenner would be woken up by the sound of the snowplows.

From the internationally bestselling mystery writer Wolf Haas

BRENNER AND GOD

“
Brenner and God
is a humdinger … a sockdollager of an action yarn, concerning the potentially fatal situation ex-cop Simon Brenner finds himself in when the two-year-old girl he’s been chauffeuring is kidnapped.” —

THE BONE MAN

“As Brenner chases the clues amid the picture-book countryside (one waits for a chorus of
Edelweiss
), he encounters sex workers, fake tour guides, war profiteers, slimy art dealers and even a white slaver. Fans of Carl Hiaasen ought to love this series.” —
