Venus, Vanishing

Berlin, 1928. Hannah, a runaway and fledgling artist, has found freedom in the city’s galleries and clubs, and at last, the freedom to love.

Then comes Elke: her patron, the imperious wife of a powerful man. Their affair is reckless and life-changing, and could cost them far more than their reputations. Around them, people are vanishing, and something unspeakable is taking hold. Hannah’s art may be her salvation, or the very thing that stops her from escaping.
