He who flies high ...

Summer 2015.

A few weeks ago, the new observation tower on the Buchkopf near the Black Forest town of Oppenau was inaugurated. Now it is already the scene of a tragedy. Two young female vacationers riding their mountain bikes make the gruesome discovery: a dead man is stuck in the sun lounger next to the tower, wedged upside down between the wooden slats. Did he jump from above?

The only strange thing is that he is missing all his fingers.

Cruelly severed!

The newly established "Schwarzwald Investigation Group" experiences its baptism of fire. What awaits the commissioners Marie Schwarz and Gottfried Wald is almost unbearable. Abysses of unimagined dimensions open up.

Paperback format with soft cover
and color illustrations.
