Sebastian Fitzek is Germany’s most commercially successful thriller writer, a position he has held since the publication of his debut novel Therapy in 2006. That first book, about a psychiatrist searching for his missing daughter on a remote island, set the template for his career: claustrophobic settings, psychological tension, and plot twists that upend reader expectations. He followed it with Splinter (2008) and went on to produce a steady stream of standalone thrillers over the next two decades.
His novels frequently use confined or isolated premises to ratchet up suspense. Passenger 23 (2014) takes place on a cruise ship, Seat 7A (2017) is set on a transatlantic flight, and The Inmate (2023) unfolds inside a prison psychiatric ward. Other books like The Eye Collector (2013) and The Nightwalker (2016) play with perception and paranoia in more open settings, but the sense of being trapped, whether physically or psychologically, runs through most of his work. Walk Me Home (2022) and Mimik (2025) are among his more recent releases, keeping up a pace of roughly one novel per year that has made him a fixture on German bestseller lists.
