Blutholz

Hans Schüssler has avoided his hated homeland Romania for 40 years. The former investigator now lives a secluded life, devoted to alcohol, in Berlin.

Surprisingly, he gets an almost immorally lucrative assignment that takes him to Romania, of all places. Reluctantly, he seizes the opportunity and returns to Brasov.

Katja Schöne, the lawyer for “Holz-Sasse”, the largest timber company in Europe, is waiting for him. One of their top managers has disappeared without a trace.

On the dangerous search for the manager, Schüssler learns how important the Carpathians are for the climate and how closely our Western interests are intertwined with the corrupt regional structures that are systematically decimating Europe’s last virgin forests. His search leads him along his childhood sweetheart, the prosecutor Silvia Dancu ever deeper into the mysteries of his own past.

Ostfriesenmoor

The body of a young woman turns up in the Uplengen Moor. Ann Kathrin Klaasen is astonished that the perpetrator hardly bothered to sink the victim completely. Rather, it seems as if the dead woman should be found. While the team in Aurich is evaluating the first traces, the six-month-old twins are abducted in the city centre in Norden by holidaymakers from the Ruhr area. A feverish search for the kidnapper and the murderer of the “bog body” begins…
