Als in den dreißiger Jahren in den Wäldern von Berlin ein nacktes Mädchen, nur mit einer Ausgabe der Quantentheorie, gefunden wird, erhält es von der Presse sofort den Namen Einstein-Girl . Ein Psychiater begibt sich auf eine Spur von Serbien bis in eine psychiatrische Klinik in Zürich.
A gripping and atmospheric historical thriller set in Berlin in 1932, centred around a young woman found in a coma - who is she, and why does everyone want to find out?
At the heart of truth lies madness...

Two months before Hitler´s rise to power, a beautiful young woman is found naked and near death in the woods outside Berlin. When she finally wakes from her coma, she can remember nothing, not even her name. The only clue to her identity is a handbill found nearby, advertising a public lecture by Albert Einstein: ´On the Present State of Quantum Theory´.

Psychiatrist Martin Kirsch takes the case, little suspecting that this will be his last. As he searches for the truth about ´the Einstien Girl´, professional fascination turns to reckless love. His investigations lead him to a remote corner of Siberia via a psychiatric hospital in Zurich. There the inheritor of Einstein´s genius - his youngest son, Eduard - is writing a book that will destroy his illustrious father and, in the process, change the world.
"A serious, well-informed and interesting thriller about the private life and family of an undoubted genius. Excellent period setting in Berlin in 1932 and numerous psychological insights... highly recommended" Jessica Mann Literary Review
