River - der Fluss - ist in diesem Roman die Elbe bei Hamburg-Blankenese, ein mächtiger Strom mit Containerschiffen und Sportbooten, mit Stimmungen und Farbwechseln. Und er ist der Fluss des Geldes, gigantischer Geldsummen, die den Globus von Konto zu Konto umrunden, weit schneller als die Schiffe, die die dazugehörigen Waren transportieren. Schließlich ist es der Fluss der Zeit, des Werdens und des Vergehens, der Toten und der Lebenden. So wie der Fluss fließt der Roman, enthüllt auf sensationell lässige Weise Menschen, Motive, Intimes - und ein filigranes Netz aus Geschichten und Verbrechen. Sidney, die 'Gwyn Paltrow der Elbvororte' ist ins Treppenviertel gezogen, in ein Haus, in dem 1974 ein Attentat stattgefunden hat. Welche Verbindung hat Sidney mit einer der Attentäterinnen von 1974? Teil 1 der Trilogie RIVER - SEA - LAKE.
