Der bleierne Sarg

For more than three centuries, horror has endured, trapped in a leaden coffin. A chimera - a deadly pathogen from the time of the Thirty Years' War - employs a ruthless terrorist organization to spring a mass murderer from prison. In a desperate race against time, an archaeologist and a chief inspector from Kiel attempt to track down the masterminds while also searching for ancient records that could aid in the development of a medication. Meanwhile, more and more people are dying. Bioterrorism is considered the greatest threat to humanity alongside nuclear war. In this alarmingly relevant and gripping thriller, Thomas Frankenfeld has tackled this threat. During their search, the two protagonists repeatedly find themselves in life-and-death struggles that are depicted with unsettling realism.
