Samenvatting:

In the rain-soaked streets of modern Hamburg, retired special-forces operative Joan Voss and his dentist wife, Ana, stumble into a pulse-pounding conspiracy when an entire S1 commuter train-and its 200 passengers-vanishes between stations like a ghost in the fog. What begins as a glitch spirals into a high-stakes unraveling of PortSec Dynamics' shadowy "Phantom Fleet": A black-market AI syndicate using experimental cloaking tech to "fold" vehicles into quantum limbo for corporate espionage, smuggling, and silencing whistleblowers. Blending fast-paced chases through Fischmarkt crowds and Elbe river shootouts with the absurd grind of expat family life-school runs, Duolingo disasters, and Ana's insatiable (yet mysteriously calorie-proof) appetite-the Vosses, alongside their pint-sized prodigy son Ricardo (whose crayon doodles crack unbreakable codes), tag-team gadgets, grit, and sarcasm to outwit the villainous CEO Viktor Hale. From locked-room riddles in derelict shipyards to a climactic yacht takedown, this sarcastic, cinematic romp delivers cozy Christie cleverness with Indiana Jones thrills, proving that in a city built on secrets, the real mystery is surviving parenthood amid vanishing trains.
