Yes, this novel was adapted into a German film titled "Cut Off" (Abgeschnitten) which premiered in 2018. The movie closely follows the book's intricate plot, maintaining its intense thriller elements.
The narrative of Abgeschnitten is told from alternating perspectives, primarily following the medical examiner and the comic artist. This dual viewpoint structure is crucial to unraveling the mystery as their seemingly separate investigations converge.
Abgeschnitten stands out among Fitzek's thrillers due to the significant co-authorship with Michael Tsokos, a real-life forensic pathologist. This collaboration lends a heightened level of medical and forensic detail and authenticity that is more pronounced than in Fitzek's solo novels.
