Produktbeschreibung

This collection of gripping crime stories has become a classic. The idyllic village in the Swiss mountains with its iconic luxury hotel is not what it seems: some of the guests do not have relaxation and winter sport on their minds - but murder. Death comes in many guises and in the most unlikely locations: in the cosy surroundings of hotel bars, on sunlit ski slopes and on thin ice. At last, connoisseurs of crime fiction all over the world can enjoy an English translation of these evocative tales of dark foreboding. This book makes a wonderful travel companion, or one can stay at home by the fire and enter a fascinating world of passion and revenge. Ulrich Knellwolf, a true master of irony and the tongue-in-cheek, has produced a captivating collection of wicked page-turners.
