Series: The Black Forest Investigations

The second of the Black Forest Investigations - for fans of Val McDermid and Ann Cleeves.

When the fire brigade is called to a burning shed in the Black Forest idyll of Kirchzarten, a volunteer is killed as a weapons cache beneath it explodes. Louise Boni, back with Freiburg Kripo after treatment and recuperation for her alcoholism, is assigned to the task force dealing with this case. The meagre evidence they have points to a possible connection with German neo-Nazis or illegal arms dealers from the former Yugoslavia, while the arrival of secret service agents suggests more is at stake. For Louise to solve the riddle she needs to overcome the ghosts of her past that continue to haunt her.

Oliver Bottini is a fresh and exciting voice in the world of crime fiction in translation; the Rhine borderlands of the Black Forest are a perfect setting for his beautifully crafted mysteries.

Reviews for A Summer of Murder (#2 Black Forest)

Oliver Bottini, one of the few German authors who play in crime-writing's premier league, really knows how to tell a good story - Frankfurter Rundschau Tension without brutality, local colour without small-minded sentimentality, good, intelligent reading with depth - Handelsblatt It's been a long time since any crime author started out so strongly, so visually - Die Zeit
