What to do if you are haunted by fears, if you can’t sleep at night and flinch at every rustle? Run. The heroine of Martin Suter’s novel Sonya does just that - from her fears, depression and hopeless melancholy, she tries to hide in a small village. But fear overtakes her here too. Someone is playing a cruel and dangerous game with her - first they slip a book with a legend about a poor shepherdess who sold her soul to the Devil of Milan, and then they stage all the signs with which the devil demonstrated his power. Sonya is depressed, but she decides not to give up . At all costs, she needs to find out who is behind the devil’s tricks, who needs to intimidate her?
