The Snowman

"Prose that penetrates the reader's mind like speed, fast paced, without an ounce of fat."—Weltwoche He's found five pounds of top quality Peruvian cocaine in a suit-case. Pursued by the police and drug traffickers the luckless Blum falls prey to the frenzied paranoia of the cocaine addict and dealer. This is a fast-paced thriller written with acerbic humour, a hardboiled evocation of drug-fuelled existence and a penetrating observation of those at the edge of German society. Having broken his addiction to on heroin at the age of thirty, Jörg Fauser spent much of the rest of his life dependent on alcohol. He died aged forty-three in 1987, run over by a truck at four am on a German highway.
