Description

Christopher liebt Primzahlen, Puzzles und Polizisten. Aber er hasst Gelb und Braun. Damit er auch Fleisch und Gemüse, das diese Farbtöne hat, essen kann, hat er immer Lebensmittelfarbe dabei. Seit seine Mutter vor zwei Jahren überraschend gestorben ist, vertraut er nur noch einem Menschen auf dieser Welt: seinem Vater, der ihn allein erzieht. Die beiden verstehen sich auch gut, bis Cristopher eines Nachts den Wellington, den Pudel der Nachbarin, tot im Garten findet. Der Junge mag Hunde sehr. Bei ihnen weiß er, woran er ist. Er muss unbedingt den Täter finden und nimmt die Ermittlungen auf. Streng logisch, mit Deduktionen, wie einst Sherlock Holmes. Er kann nicht ahnen, wie sehr Wellingtons Tod mit seiner eigenen Geschichte zusammenhängt.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is a murder mystery novel like no other.

The detective, and narrator, is Christopher Boone. Christopher is fifteen and has Asperger's Syndrome. He knows a very great deal about maths and very little about human beings. He loves lists, patterns and the truth. He hates the colours yellow and brown and being touched. He has never gone further than the end of the road on his own, but when he finds a neighbour's dog murdered he sets out on a terrifying journey which will turn his whole world upside down.

'Outstanding...a stunningly good read' Observer

'Mark Haddon's portrayal of an emotionally dissociated mind is a superb achievement... Wise and bleakly funny' Ian McEwan

Winner of the Whitbread Book of the Year
