About this product
Product Information
Introducing one of Europe's most widely popular detective series Wanting out of high-stress detective work, Simon Brenner takes a calming job as a chauffeur, shuttling a two-year-old girl back and forth in a soothing ride along the Autobahn between her father, a construction tycoon in Munich, and her mother, an abortion doctor in Vienna. Except then one day he stops at a gas station to buy the little girl a chocolate bar and comes back to find she's been kidnapped . . . and suddenly he's out of a job, thoroughly stressed out, and a detective again. With no shortage of leads--both the father's latest development and the mother's clinic are under siege by protestors--Brenner makes his way through a powerful cast of characters and a growing pile of bodies to solve the crime in the only way he knows how: By being in precisely the right place at the worst possible time. Told with sharp-edged wit, suspense that's even sharper, and one of the most quirky, hilarious, and compelling narrative voices ever.

Reviews
"Brenner and God is one of the cleverest-and most thoroughly enjoyable-mysteries that I've read in a long time. Wolf Haas is the real deal, and his arrival on the American book scene is long overdue." -Carl Hiaasen, NY Times bestselling author of Skinny Dip "Simon Brenner, the hero of Wolf Haas' marvelous series of crime thrillers, is a wildly likable and original character-a delightful and unexpected hero to show up in this noble and enduring genre. That Brenner struggles his way-always humanistically, often humorously-through Haas' acutely suspenseful narratives without the aid of a firearm, armed only with his smarts and sometimes fallible intuition, is a monumental plus." -J onathan Demme, Oscar-winning director of The Silence of the Lambs "Haas brings a wry sense of humor to this familiar story line with his detached, conversational style. American readers will look forward to seeing more of Simon Brenner." -Publishers Weekly "A must for crime fiction lovers with a sense of humor: In Simon Brenner, Wolf Haas has created a protagonist so real and believable that I sometimes wanted to tap him on the shoulder and point him in the right direction!" -Andrey Kurkov, author of Death and the Penguin "Drolly told by an unidentified yet surprisingly reliable narrator, Brenner and God is very funny, leavened throughout with a finely honed sense of the absurd." -Lisa Brackmann, author of Rock Paper Tiger and Getaway "Thanks to Simon Brenner, the Austrian Wolf Haas is one of the German-speaking world's premier crime writers, beloved by critics and readers alike." -Der Spiegel "This is great art, great fun." -Germany Radio "Wolf Haas writes the funniest and cleverest mysteries." -Die Welt, "Thanks to Simon Brenner, the Austrian Wolf Haas is one of the German-speaking world's premier crime writers, beloved by critics and readers alike." -Der Spiegel "This is great art, great fun." -Germany Radio "Wolf Haas writes the funniest and cleverest mysteries." -Die Welt, "Brenner and God is one of the cleverest-and most thoroughly enjoyable-mysteries that I've read in a long time.

American readers will look forward to seeing more of Simon Brenner." -Publishers Weekly [A] superb translation of one of Austria's finest crime novels. This is the first of the Brenner novels in English. We can only hope for more, soon.-Globe and Mail "Thanks to Simon Brenner, the Austrian Wolf Haas is one of the German-speaking world's premier crime writers, beloved by critics and readers alike." -Der Spiegel "This is great art, great fun." -Germany Radio "Wolf Haas writes the funniest and cleverest mysteries." -Die Welt From the Trade Paperback edition., "Simon Brenner, the hero of Wolf Haas' marvelous series of crime thrillers, is a wildly likable and original character-a delightful and unexpected hero to show up in this noble and enduring genre.

American readers will look forward to seeing more of Simon Brenner." -Publishers Weekly " Brenner and God is not just the ideal book for those trying to kick a chocolate habit, but also a must for crime fiction lovers with a sense of humor. In Simon Brenner, Wolf Haas has created a protagonist so real and believable that I sometimes wanted to tap him on the shoulder and point him in the right direction!" -Andrey Kurkov, author of Death and the Penguin "I thoroughly enjoyed this compact tale of a washed-up cop turned chauffeur searching for meaning, sanity, the truth behind a 12 year old's abortion and a missing 2 year old girl. If this all sounds rather ponderous and grim, it's anything but -- drolly told by an unidentified yet surprisingly reliable narrator, Brenner and God is very funny, leavened throughout with a finely honed sense of the absurd. This is the first of Austrian Wolf Haas' wildly popular series to be translated into English -- I can't wait for the rest!" -Lisa Brackmann, author of Rock Paper Tiger and Getaway .
