By day, Julia Westphal directs national sales for a multi-million-euro corporation. She is brilliant, beautiful, and universally respected-the perfect facade. But by night, when she works shifts at the "Equinox," a gritty Hamburg dive bar, the true Julia emerges. Confronted with the casual, crude misogyny of its patrons, she sees more than just insults-she sees an ugly dissonance in the world, an aesthetic affront that demands correction.With the cold precision of a surgeon and the vision of an artist, she begins to eliminate these men. Her murders are not acts of rage, but flawless works of art, silent erasures that leave no trace. But Julia's canvas is expanding. A sadistic killer on a remote island offends her craft, an invisible digital ghost within her own company challenges her intellect, and soon she discovers she is not the only one in Hamburg shaping the world to her own design. A mysterious killer the press calls "The Architect" speaks her language-and he wants to meet.What began as a personal purge becomes an existential duet in the darkness, forcing Julia to transcend the limits of her own solitary art. She is faced with the ultimate choice: remain the sole master of her small kingdom, or become a partner in a game whose prize is nothing less than the reshaping of the world itself?How far can one woman go to sculpt the world into her own, terrible vision of beauty?
