Dominik Mikulaschek: Don't touch anything, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

In ***Don't Touch Anything***, a single envelope turns an ordinary day into the beginning of a nightmare. Mara Stein returns to her car after a routine shopping trip and finds something that should not be there: a heavy cream-colored envelope resting on the passenger seat, addressed to her in neat typewritten letters. No stamp. No sender. No explanation. Inside, there is only a pair of white cotton gloves and a short message: **DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING.** Beneath it are an address, a name, and a time. Mara already knows who sent it. And she knows ignoring it is not really an option.

That message pulls her into a sealed suburban house where everything looks calm, polished, and respectable on the surface. The lawn is trimmed, the windows are spotless, and the quiet street feels safe. But inside the Lang family home, a man lies barely conscious in an upstairs bedroom, the police have locked down the property as a crime scene, and every object may be evidence. Miles Lang has been found weak, unresponsive, and possibly poisoned. No one knows what was used on him. No one knows who can be trusted. And Mara has been brought in for one reason: she understands what it means to move through a dangerous place without disturbing the truth hidden inside it.

As Mara begins watching over Miles, she must follow strict rules. She wears gloves. She documents every movement. She touches nothing unless absolutely necessary. She opens no drawers, no doors, no cabinets. Every room feels loaded with secrets. Every silence feels deliberate. The wife, Tessa Lang, appears frightened and cooperative, but something about her does not feel right. Detective Rios, calm and unreadable as always, seems to know more than he is saying. And the deeper Mara sinks into the strange tension of the house, the more she begins to understand that this is not just a medical emergency or a simple criminal investigation. It is a trap built from evidence, fear, and manipulation.

Then the details start to grow darker. A weak hand signal from the man in the bed. A coded gesture that may be a warning. A sound in the night from somewhere below. And in the bathroom, a syringe cap placed in plain sight, clean and untouched, as if it has been left there for someone to find. Or for someone to take the blame.

***Don't Touch Anything*** is a gripping **psychological thriller** and **suspense novel** filled with claustrophobic tension, quiet menace, and a constant sense of dread. This is a **crime thriller** for readers who love locked-house mysteries, unreliable appearances, forensic details, and slow-burning danger that builds with every page. The novel combines the atmosphere of **domestic suspense**, the pressure of a sealed crime scene, and the emotional intensity of a heroine who knows that survival often depends on noticing the one detail everyone else overlooks.

Perfect for fans of **psychological suspense**, **mystery thrillers**, **dark crime fiction**, and **twisty suspense novels**, this book delivers a haunting story about trust, control, hidden evidence, and the terrible cost of touching the wrong thing at the wrong time. If you enjoy tense page-turners with a strong female lead, unsettling secrets, and a chilling atmosphere that lingers long after the final chapter, ***Don't Touch Anything*** is the thriller you have been waiting for.
