Overview

No one knows the exact origins of the enigmatic Revolver Christi, a holy relic with a sinister past. When the revolver is implicated in a mysterious crime, Thomas finds himself drawn into an ever-tightening web of intrigue. A piano teacher, a photograph in the attic, an underground sect, an unexplained illness-with each thread he pulls, Thomas inches closer to unravelling the truth. But those elusive answers he craves may lie unnervingly close to home. Subtle, subversive, and filled with a creeping sense of dread-this genre-bending novella is a bold exploration of religion, superstition and human nature. AUTHOR: Born in Mainz in 1986, Anna Albinus studied Catholic theology, Jewish studies and art history in Freiburg and Jerusalem. Her novella Revolver Christi was awarded the Debut Prize at the 2021 Austrian Book Prize and the 2022 Rauris Literature Prize for 'the best first prose publication in the German language'. Albinus lives with her family in Greifswald.
