By one of the most promising novelists in Germany today, The Fabric of Night is a frightening, profound reflection on the nature of illusion and reality.Albin Kranz is a sculptor, haunted by hallucinations and by painful memories of his childhood. At her wit’s end, Livia, a photographer with whom he has lived for five years, suggests that they go to Istanbul to give there love one last chance. There, he witnesses a murder. But like one of Hitchcock’s desperately misunderstood characters, Albin can’t persuade anyone of what he saw, nor find any proof. His quest for truth takes him into the slums of the city and deep into the mysterious, exotic Eastern culture few Western visitors ever penetrate. The Fabric of Night is a psychological drama, a nightmare, and a double tale of disintegrating love.

Praise for The Fabric of Night

"A multilayered story of suspense, relationships and doubts. . . . A disturbing but worthwhile look into the human psyche, showing just how much territory that can encompass. Writing about madness isn't easy, and Peters captures the feeling with a disquieting intensity."--Miami Herald

"Brilliant."--Minneapolis Star-Tribune
