Dead Hand

The burial of a hand leads Police Sergeant Kreuthner to the discovery of an unusual corpse: darkly humorous, typically Bavarian and gripping! Of all people it is game of cards Schafskopf champion Johann Lintinger who loses his right hand in a scrap metal press. Police Sergeant Kreuthner decides that this legendary right hand deserves a dignified burial and so a grave is dug next to the old chapel. While digging “corpse Leo” is once again true to his name for the plot is already occupied ... by another hand and a half decomposed male corpse who has an illegibly signed farewell note with him. Suicide? Murder? Or both? Soon, Inspector Wallner and the criminal investigation department have more questions than answers. English translation of vol. 1, “Prinzessinnenmörder” (The Murderer of the Princesses) available.
