"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."

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.
