Eine abgründige Geschichte über Liebe, Macht und Abhängigkeit.

Ralph Krass – so heißt ein verschwenderisch großzügiger Geschäftsmann, der Menschen mit kannibalischem Appetit verbraucht. Ist er unendlich reich oder nur ein Hochstapler, kalt berechnend, oder träumt er hemmungslos? Ein Mann, der niemals Zeit hat und in anderen Menschen nur Marionetten sieht. Als in Neapel Lidewine in seinen Kreis tritt – eben noch die Assistentin eines Zauberers, eine junge Abenteurerin – und sie sich ihm widersetzt, verfällt er darauf, ihr einen ungewöhnlichen Pakt anzubieten. «Krass» ist ein atmosphärischer, bildstarker Roman über das, was das Verstreichen von Zeit mit Menschen tut, über Liebe, Verlust und magisches Wiederfinden.
