2000s: An English woman living in Germany becomes embroiled in the dangerous autobahn criminal trade.
Heavily pregnant Frannie is facing a crisis. An English woman living in Germany, her marriage is failing, her language skills are hopeless, and she feels like a fish out of water in a foreign country.
In a positive effort to tackle her problems she learns to drive so she can cope when her baby is born and build a sense of independence. After passing her driving test she drives in the early hours of the morning to gain experience on the eerily empty streets.
But when she encounters a Polish motorcyclist looking for his missing sister, she becomes sucked into a terrifying world of shady nightclubs, autobahn prostitutes and organ trafficking. And when she crosses serial-killing truck driver Stigelegger, there’s no turning back.
You might want to take care on the autobahn when here after reading this. Lots of empty roads and dark corners. Where you are the only one driving….
Learning to drive in Germany doesn’t sound like fun, so if you’re taking lessons, you might not want to read this until after your test. A few near misses and some angry manoevres here.
The authobahn is the main location for the story as this is where the fictional Moonlights Club is, where all (dangerous) roads seem to lead back to. It’s said to be located outside of Hanover on the autobahn and was formerly the vault of a national bank. This bank does exist but in the centre of the city.
