Satirisk spenningsroman fra Tysklands svar på Jonathan Franzen.I Tomme hjerter stiller Zeh spørsmål om og demokratiets funksjon i en effektiv, men politisk blasert verden, hvor samfunnsengasjementet strekker seg til drømmen om en velfungerende vaskemaskin. I en stilig funkisbolig i den mellomstore byen Braunschweig lever Britta og familien et godt liv. Krigen i Syria er over, Donald Trump er blitt stuerein, og det høyreorienterte partiet BBB har overtatt setet etter Angela Merkel. Samfunnet går på skinner, og det samme gjør Brittas klinikk for Self Managing, Life Coaching og Ego Polishing. Når to menn blir pågrepet for et mislykket attentat, går Britta under jorden. Klinikken hennes driver nemlig på kanten av loven, for sammen med partneren Babak rekrutterer hun potensielle selvmordsbombere til oppdrag verden over. Så langt har Britta og Babak vært alene i bransjen, men når ingen av deres menn sto bak attentatet, frykter de at noen ønsker å presse dem ut av markedet. Britta og Babak legger en plan for å vinne makten tilbake, og kanskje kan de også redde Tysklands framtid.
