Plots(1)
Fabian Groys is one of the star newshounds at the fictitious Berlin-based magazine Die Woche (The Week), where he’s already received major kudos for his coverage of the war in Afghanistan. Every journalist needs an addiction, and Fabian’s soft spot is the craps table (with a bit of drinking thrown in), for which he owes a hefty debt that can only be paid off by putting his vintage Porsche in hock. Otherwise, Fabian’s as committed as they come, especially now that he’s onto a new story involving a batty war veteran who literally fed himself to the lions at the zoo, and who was employed at a toxic waste company which seems to be toeing the regulations line. As it happens, the German parliament is in the process of voting in an environmental bill to meet new EU standards, and the company’s bullish CEO now needs to do all he can to stop Fabian from prying too far.
