New Belrussian translation
Parker has only one week. A friend, a political veteran in Schleswig-Holstein, has invited him to Kiel to assist the young, promising politician Mahler as a media consultant and speechwriter. Parker needs success, a contract, the money. And he needs a fresh start. Thanks to a bestselling book on coaching, Parker became an internationally renowned rhetoric expert who even contributed to Obama's presidential campaign. But that was a long time ago. Parker has also reached a turning point in his personal life. Having fled his roots and past in Hamburg for the USA as a student, this globally connected work nomad constantly avoids intimacy in his private life as well. His last girlfriend kicked him out for it. And now in Kiel, Anneli Schneider, the ambitious and battle-tested employee of his client Mahler, presents him with one challenge after another. In his new novel, Matthias Göritz tells a gripping and profound story of a perfidious intrigue, of power and love, of the irresistible allure of advancement and its price.
