"The Loneliness of the Chameleon" by Michael Kroetch
As fatalities accumulate in a Berlin recycling company, nobody seems to notice. Nobody except Rebekka Schomberg. She’s gifted with a rare talent of mimicry which allows her to fit in everywhere and which opens doors to people and places she needs information from. So she begins her own secret investigation into the deaths at the recycling company and soon stumbles upon a treacherous art deal and a hushed up crime… But her adversary is quite aware of her chameleon talent and knows it will be easy to erase her from the world. She is somebody who lives an unseen life, so it is clear she will not be missed… By anybody.
