Blum decides to finish what Mark started and sets off to right the wrongs those five men perpetrated.
Later, Blum goes through Mark’s phone and finds a bevy of recorded conversations with a woman named Dunya, who recounts terrible tales of being held captive with two other immigrants while a group of five men, whose names she doesn't know, rapes and abuses them. But her happiness is cut short when Mark’s killed in a hit-and-run as he leaves their home. Soon Blum is running her late father’s mortuary business and has two children with Mark. Thus, Blum earns her emancipation and, at the same time, finds happiness in the arms of Mark, the police officer who investigates their deaths. But readers, though possibly shocked by Blum’s callousness, won’t shed any tears for the couple: they were monsters. The first thing Blum does at the beginning of this book is kill her elderly parents by letting them slowly drown as she sunbathes on the family sailboat, turning a deaf ear to their begging.
Bloody corpses and an intriguing protagonist combine to flesh out Aichner’s violent tale.
