Prodigal Son

The story follows Felix Brandt, a young brilliant but psychologically tormented criminal investigator, as he returns to his hometown of Nussheim, a place overshadowed by the horrific legacy of his father—a convicted serial killer who committed suicide in custody. Felix joins a fractured police team tasked with solving a chilling string of murders committed by the enigmatic Origami Killer, who leaves meticulously folded paper figures describing the last moments of their victims. As Felix delves deeper into the case, he will discover unsettling parallels between the killer’s methods and his father’s crimes, forcing him to confront the dark shadow of his lineage. To unravel the mind of the Origami Killer, Felix and his team will reluctantly enlist the help of Freya Volk, a former serial killer with a mind as sharp as her past is bloody. Freya’s insights prove invaluable but come at a cost, as her presence stirs tension within the team and pushes Felix closer to the moral edge he fears crossing.
