Features: P. Kr?ber (1949-) is one of Germany's most popular writers in recent years. The novel tells the story of a genius who murders 26 girls. Each murder is driven by a purpose: simply because he is obsessed with their unique scents. For Grenouille, each act is a love, but he does not love the people themselves, only their fragrance. He murders them to possess them forever and to own the "fragrance" he adores—one that is devoid of sensation and life. This book is not a typical thriller but a serious work with a unique concept, filled with fantasy and profound meaning. Since its publication in 1985, it has consistently ranked at the top of Germany's bestseller lists and has been translated into over 30 languages.
