Death in Blue (vol. II)

The second case for Leo Wechsler

Berlin, 1922: Arnold Wegner is an artist who depicts the era he lives in as one of stark contrasts – poverty and luxury, war and extravagance, sickness and insanity. His radical paintings are a provocative analysis of society and recent history, arousing admiration and revulsion in equal measure. When the artist is found dead in his studio, Detective Superintendent Leo Wechsler takes over the investigation and discovers that there was an eye-witness – but he is determined to avoid being questioned by the police at all costs.

»A spell-binding page-turner in a 1920s setting that was far less golden than we like to imagine.« – Neue Presse
For readers of Volker Kutscher and Anne Stern
