'Ute with one foot in the underworld' is a page turning psychological thriller, a tragicomic family chronicle spanning two generations, starting in Germany in 1942 and spinning off to a terrorist attack on the London underground in 2004.

Lost between two countries and two families, Ute is forever looking for a home.
In spite of abandonment, rape, losing her baby and a fatal attraction to a violent lover, she never loses her sense of humour, believing that happiness is just around the corner.
