The beautiful historic cinema hall of the Lichtspiele Wadern becomes the setting for a thrilling crime reading: As part of the Wadern Book Week, author Andreas Schmidt will read from his new crime novel "Watten Zorn" on Saturday, September 24th, at 7 p.m.
A mysterious series of murders keeps the Nordfriesland Criminal Investigation Department on edge. A serial killer arranges his victims in public places. Apparently, he wants to attract attention with his sinister acts and spread fear and terror. What is the connection between the murder victims? Commissioner Wiebke Ulbricht and her partner Jan Petersen are in a race against the killer, who repeatedly manages to lead the police astray. The scandal involving a doctor, who is said to have "relieved" her patients as the "Angel of Death of Husum," takes on new urgency when the woman is found murdered in the Tine Fountain at Husum marketplace.
In their latest case, investigators Ulbricht and Petersen engage in a breathtaking chase through the "land between the seas" and find themselves caught in the clutches of the serial killer. WattenZorn is the fifth volume of the popular coastal crime series by Andreas Schmidt.
Small North German delicacies round off the reading culinary.
Born in the year of the first moon landing, 1969 in Wuppertal, Andreas Schmidt made his crime fiction debut in 1999 with "In Satan’s Name." Three years later, the author and journalist achieved a breakthrough with "The Suspension Railway Conspiracy" (KBV). Since then, numerous Wuppertal crime novels, seven anthologies, and the thriller "Hated" (Digital Publishers) have been published. The main character of his crime novels, the perpetually grumpy Commissioner Ulbricht, has also been successfully investigating in the Weserbergland and along the North Sea coast since early 2011. In "WattenMord" (April 2012, Verlag CW Niemeyer), Commissioner Ulbricht worked for the first time together with his daughter Wiebke on the coast... Ulbricht has long since found his way into the hearts of Andreas Schmidt’s readers and is very popular nationwide.
