The Lethal Precipice (vol. X)
Georg Hellmann comes to the Moselle vineyards weighed down by heavy baggage. He has just quit his job as a security expert, his wife has thrown him out and refuses to let him see their two daughters. Now he just wants to relax and recharge his batteries on Stefan Sauter’s precipitous vineyard, where he intends to study the basics of wine growing. But the peace he’s longing for remains beyond his reach – two vintners die within days of each other. The finger of suspicion points at Sauter, who ties himself up in contradictions and then takes flight to his vineyard in Tuscany. Georg Hellmann is convinced of his friend’s innocence, so the seasoned detective decides to make investigations of his own…
