In a story full of shocking twists and turns, a journalist, a survivor, a witness, a detective and a forensic psychologist are all interviewed for their perspective on the what went right, and what went horribly wrong, in the hunt for a killer.

Es gibt einiges, das Ihr erfahren solltet, bevor wir ans Ende meiner Geschichte gelangen. Wir beginnen dort, wo wir aufgehört haben: beim zweiten Schuljahr. Es war ebenso ereignisreich wie das erste. Wir werden uns auf die Spuren einer Prophezeiung begeben, einen Mythos über Träume widerlegen, triumphieren und fallen, der Liebe hinterhereilen und am Ende der Wahrheit aller Dinge ein Stückchen nähergekommen sein. Wäre ich nicht so überaus begabt darin gewesen, mir Feinde zu machen, wäre meine Zeit an der Himmelsakademie wohl glimpflicher ausgegangen.

Intended to be a defense of the Christian religion, Pensées is a penetrating collection of thoughts on faith, reason, and theology. Unfinished at the time of Pascal's death, the book consists of philosophical fragments on the "wretchedness" of man and the controversial schisms of the church at the time. It includes the philosopher's infamous wager encouraging belief over agnosticism, as well as his thoughts on numerous other topics. Endlessly quotable, Pensées overflows with pearls of wisdom, each elusive sentence pregnant with a universe of thought.

Compiled after his death in 1662, Pascal's "pensées" (thoughts) are his ideas for a book in defense of faith in a rational world. These fragments give evidence of a profoundly original thinker who had resolved the conflict between his scientific mind and heart-felt faith. This audiobook begins with an analysis of the difference between mathematical and intuitive thinking and goes on to consider the value of skepticism, contradictions, feeling, memory, and imagination.

Die Ablehnung seiner Mutter, eine zerbrechende Beziehung und der Verrat eines Vertrauten stürzen ihn in einen Strudel aus Einsamkeit und Verzweiflung. Was bleibt, ist sein Körper und der Versuch, durch das Verschlucken spitzer Gegenstände Kontrolle zurückzugewinnen.
