In Free Fall

“[A] masterfully constructed story of an intense friendship between two physicists, a marriage, a kidnapping, and a murder, In Free Fall plunges the reader into a hyperreality that is as seductive as it is disturbing.”

—Boston Globe

“An elegant quasi-thriller about physics, murder, and the solving of murders… This is one of the best books of the year. Zeh has enough control to keep the murder from being lurid and the physics from being dull. Her prose is sharp and often witty, and the excellent translation means every moment shines brightly.”

—New York Observer

“Engrossing… vivid characters combine with a devastating 11th-hour reveal to make a memorable intellectual thirller.”

—Publishers Weekly

“A highly cinematic thriller… Zeh’s smart novel will appeal to a wide range of readers.”

—Library Journal

“Add a hospital scandal and two of the quirkiest detectives in fiction, mix with Juli Zeh’s thrumming, moody prose, and you have one of the finest crime novels you’ll read.”
