The launch of the novel, published by Humanitas Publishing House, is set for October 24, at the Humanitas Cismigiu bookstore. The novel tells the story of a young journalist who survives a terrorist attack.

Throughout his career, Schmitt has authored theater plays, short stories and novels. He is also a film director. His plays have been staged in over fifty countries all over the world.
