Park Carmen Machado

Selena Kovač-Lekont was born in Serbia and moved with her mother to Frankfurt am Main as a girl. When she goes looking for a friend who has disappeared, the search keeps forcing her to face her own past. It becomes entangled with the fate of Carmen Machado, a young Spaniard killed in a Frankfurt park soon after arriving from Spain to meet her half-brother in Germany. Learning of the sad story by chance, Selena resolves to solve the murder and puts her own life in danger. The novel draws a picture of uprootedness, alienation and the search for identity in a world without illusions or traditional values.
