About the Author

A.G. Soell, born in 1977, lives in Berlin with his family.
Between everyday family life, the intensity of modern city life, and a deep fascination with social structures, he creates psychological thrillers that explore moral boundaries, institutional failure, and the consequences of unresolved trauma.His stories are inspired by real societal developments: crimes involving incapacitating substances, digital voyeurism, public humiliation, failed investigations, and offenders who often escape accountability because evidence disappears along with memory.Rather than focusing solely on individual perpetrators, Soell examines the systems surrounding them - the mechanisms of doubt, denial, silence, and emotional isolation.At the center of his novels are people whose reality suddenly becomes unreliable: memories vanish, evidence is incomplete, and truth becomes impossible to prove. From that uncertainty emerges the central question running through the trilogy:What happens when justice no longer works - and someone decides to enforce it personally?Blending psychological suspense, social tension, and dark institutional themes, the trilogy creates a cold, modern atmosphere where morality slowly begins to collapse.

THE THEMES OF THE TRILOGY

BOOK I: K.O. - System GapsThe first novel focuses on female victims of crimes involving incapacitating substances. Many offenders avoid prosecution because memories are fragmented, evidence is insufficient, or victims are not believed.As investigations fail and legal systems reach their limits, one investigator begins to lose faith in justice itself - until she starts creating her own.⸻BOOK II: K.O. - ECHOThe second installment expands into domestic environments: wives, partners, and even daughters become victims of systematic drugging and sexual abuse.The crimes are broadcast on an underground platform fueled by anonymous viewers, live chats, voyeurism, and digital cruelty.At the same time, mysterious acts of revenge begin spreading across the country. Individuals believed to have suffered similar attacks begin retaliating, often through fatal overdoses and vigilante violence. The line between victim, witness, and perpetrator slowly disappears.⸻BOOK III: K.O. - UnconsciousThe final chapter reverses the perspective: now male victims become the focus.Once again, incapacitating substances lead to memory loss, destroyed lives, and offenders who remain almost untouchable. As society slowly realizes that manipulation and vulnerability are not limited by gender, the cycle of revenge escalates further.Meanwhile, the former investigator now operates from the shadows - hidden behind the alibis of the lead detective - carrying out her own private war against a system she abandoned long ago.⸻The trilogy does not offer simple answers.It asks how far people are willing to go when truth can no longer be proven - and how dangerous justice becomes once it turns personal.
