Summary

The book presents Winfried Georg Sebald and Ian McEwan as paradigmatic post-imperial writers who, enmeshed in the hierarchies of power inherited from their imperial times, strive to disentangle themselves from that burdensome legacy. They undertake a subtle detachment from the analogously implicated subject positions of their protagonists

Perpetrators’ Legacies by Vladimir Biti

Eigentlich hatte Kathrin Hansen sich auf die Einweihungsfeier der Praxis von Hindrik und ihres Ferien Apartment konzentrieren wollen, doch dann kommt es anders. Am Weststrand wird eine Tote gefunden. Kurz darauf gibt es ein weiteres Opfer am Oststrand. Kathrin Hansen und ihr Team haben es mit brutalen Gewaltverbrechern zu tun. Doch damit nicht genug. Drogenh ndler aus Osteuropa und ein Krimineller aus der K lner Szene tauchen wie aus dem Nichts auf. Im Laufe der Ermittlungen steht das Team dann pl tzlich vor der Erkenntnis, dass klammheimlich auf der Insel ein Etablissement f r Prostitution und Drogen entstanden ist.
