Extract in German
City of Dogs
Published by Diogenes as Stadt der Hunde
Original Title: Stad van de honden

The renowned Dutch brain surgeon Jaap Hollander has retired, but still can’t find peace. Ever since his daughter disappeared in Israel ten years ago, he has returned each year to where it happened.
This time, he is unexpectedly asked during the trip to carry out an incredibly risky brain operation. He agrees, even though the chances of success are minimal, because not only the life of his powerful patient depends on it, but perhaps also a new clue leading to his daughter’s whereabouts.
