A female corpse on a sidewalk on the outskirts of town. One of the women who is already causing a stir, of all people. It is immediately clear that she must have jumped – if it weren''t for the Lusatian coroner – and another person who takes a closer look. A person who is trying to come to terms with his own past. But will it catch up with him again? Young police officer Benedikt Ayari is confronted with a world he actually wanted to escape from. Will he be able to keep a level head?

This book targets a cluster of darknesses in a century that, in the wake of the Romantic euphoria for the nocturnal, preferred to see itself guided by the glaring light of positivism and clear factitiousness. Yet, both canonical and non-canonical texts of the Victorian age prove that the beacons of affirmation and technological progress were persistently drowned out by stentorian voices of darkish doubt and suicidal abandon. Moored in an ontology that had lost the time-honored balance between light and dark, Victorians were on the point of losing the old idea of the chiaroscuro of life, which had informed early-modern arts. With a focus on body, mind and place, Victorian darknesses addresses the morbid interest in corpses and (female) suicides, the contradiction between spiritualism and the wish for a radically sanitised and enlightened darkness and images of London that show the metropolis sinking into the mire of darkness, pauperism and crime. Legions of self-styled Promethean torchbearers, vampire-slayers and sleuths were dedicated to bringing light, but inevitably thrust the Victorian age into more impenetrable darkness.

Eine weibliche Leiche auf einem Gehweg am Stadtrand. Ausgerechnet eine der Frauen, die sowieso schon für Aufsehen sorgen. Sie muss gesprungen sein, das ist sofort klar - wäre da nicht der Lausitzer Gerichtsmediziner - und noch einer, der genauer hinsieht. Einer, der versucht, mit der eigenen Vergangenheit abzuschließen. Doch holt sie ihn wieder ein? Der junge Polizist Benedikt Ayari wird mit einer Welt konfrontiert, der er eigentlich entkommen wollte. Wird es ihm gelingen, den richtigen Blick zu bewahren?
