The Joshua Profile
Max is going to commit a terrible crime in a few days – only he has no idea what it could be. A breathless race against time begins ...
"You're in grave danger. It's about your daughter. That's all I can say on the phone. We should meet!"
Struggling writer Max is a law-abiding citizen. Little does Max realize he's predicted to commit a crime so heinous it's hardly imaginable. However, other people seem to know already and want to stop him before it's too late. He leaves his adoptive daughter Jola home alone to look into a strange phone call he gets.
When he comes back home, he finds his daughter sedated by knock-out drops – the youth department accuses him of abuse and wants to take her away from him. He flees with Jola, but their car is sabotaged by an outside hacker and they have an accident. Max wakes up in the hospital – no sign of Jola. Has she been kidnapped? Who are his mysterious pursuers? And who or what is Joshua? Max has to go to the limit to uncover the conspiracy. Only with the help of courier driver Frida Blum, his lawyer Christoph "Topher" Marx and his crazy brother Cosmo will he be able to rescue his daughter …
This nail-biting thriller deals with an explosive subject that's already frighteningly real: Predictive Policing – Trying to predict when and where crimes will be committed based on data analysis and surveillance methods, before they happen! Based on the bestseller by internationally successful thriller writer Sebastian Fitzek.
