At the Meppen Crime Days, Judith Merchant reads from her novel “Schweig! What would you do to save your sister? And what to get rid of them? The day before Christmas Eve, Esther drives into the woods to her sister’s house to bring her a gift and a bottle of wine. A snowstorm sets in. The gift is not opened. The wine does. Things are said that would be better left unsaid. And acts are committed that can never be undone.
Judith Merchant pits two unreliable narrators against each other in her new psychological suspense novel, an eerily intense chamber drama about a toxic relationship in which nothing is as it seems.

The author was twice awarded the Friedrich Glauser Prize for her short stories. After the publication of her Rhine crime series, Judith Merchant moved from the idyll to the big city. “ATME!” was published in 2019 by Kiepenheuer & Witsch and became a bestseller.
