About the book: 2010 / In the spring of 2008, in the basement of the most ordinary provincial house in a quiet Austrian town, the police discovered a terrifying picture of an underground hell. A few days later, the whole world learned about the tragedy, which became the most terrible case in the entire criminal history of Austria. On August 28, 1984, respectable family man Joseph Fritzl lured his 18-year-old daughter Elisabeth into the basement of his own house and, handcuffed, threw him into a bunker. Elizabeth's imprisonment lasted 24 years. The story of kidnapping and violence has disgusted the entire civilized community and made people wonder how low a person can fall.
