Summary:

"You'd die for your family. But would you kill for them? I had always believed my father capable of a massacre. Whenever I heard on the news that there had been a killing spree, I would hold my breath, unable to relax until it was clear that it couldn't have been him. Randolph Tiefenthaler insists he had a normal childhood, though he grew up with a father who kept thirty loaded guns in the house. Now he has an attractive, intelligent wife and two children, enjoys modest success as an architect, and has just moved into a beautiful flat in a respectable part of Berlin. Life seems perfect -- until his wife, Rebecca, meets the man living in the basement below. Their downstairs neighbor is friendly at first, but soon he starts to frighten them -- and when Randolph fails to act, the situation spins dangerously out of control." -- From publisher's description.
