Over 8 million copies sold: a new case for Germany’s favourite inspector: Julia Durant

 

A bloody knife attack in the very centre of Frankfurt leaves one person dead, and no trace of the perpetrator. Inspector Julia Durant and her team follow leads in all possible directions. Then a mobile phone video surfaces that shows the assumed victim as the attacker. A case of self-defence? While the police unsuccessfully try to identify of the man on the run, the DNA analysis reveals that he was in contact with a woman, whose body was found in a quarry a few days earlier.

 

“With Inspector Julia Durant, Andreas Franz has created a cult investigator. For years, Daniel Holbe has been continuing his legacy in a spectacular fashion.” Alex Dengler, denglers-buchkritik.de about Julia Durant. Die junge Jägerin

Andreas Franz

Andreas Franz was the most successful German mystery author. His books have all become bestsellers! The author died unexpectedly in March 2011. Daniel Holbe, who lives near Frankfurt, always enjoyed mysteries set in that area and was therefore a big Andreas Franz fan. When he offered his own mystery novel to Droemer Knaur, he was pleasantly surprised by the suggestion that he also finish Andreas Franz book “Todesmelodie” – which then became a bestseller. Besides his own crime novels, he is now continuing the Julia Durant series.
Andreas Franz was Germany’s first crime novelist and today he is still among the most successful crime writers. Daniel Holbe is continuing his legacy wonderfully and just as successfully.
