Two dead women, two clans and an aborted wedding? The new bestseller by Franz/Holbe

    

Christmas in Frankfurt: One late afternoon a young woman leaves her family to go to work. In her experience, at this time of year the kerb crawlers pay particularly well. However, her final client is her undoing. Badly injured, she only wants to speak to one person: Julia Durant. At almost the same time, Julia’s boss and future husband is called to a crime scene where the body of a woman has been discovered. The fate of these two women hits Julia hard because she actually wanted to give her attention to wedding planning. But then, Peter Brandt, Julia’s colleague from Offenbach, calls with news: the victim was a call girl with moneyed customers.

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.
