Vienna, 2095: A corpse in the Danube isn’t unusual for Inspector Landauer. But this time there are two. And what’s worse, the two dead women look exactly alike – down to the last detail. Why are there two of the same dead woman?
As Landauer investigates, he uncovers a bizarre high-tech death cult: people who murder clones of themselves, again and again. Are these so-called Deathers simply insane? Or is there a method to their madness? The more time passes, the more evidence emerges that the deceased were on the trail of a great secret.
Tom Hillenbrand’s fascinating novel takes us from Vienna to London, Greece, and around the world. Everywhere, people are confronted with the most existential of all questions: that of death and the afterlife. Bold and entertaining, “Thanatopia” is a philosophical, clever, and incredibly suspenseful thriller about what constitutes our lives.
