Die Frau mit den vier Armen

The woman with four arms tells of sad boys who seek happiness and find death. Of a city full of quirky, lovable characters. Of rally cars, expensive wine, justice, and police work. Completely noir, the novel questions whether one can be guilty of the thoughts of others. And it presents a Hannover that has never existed before.

On the banks of the Ihme in Hannover lies the body of a young man. Inline skates on his feet, strangulation marks on his neck, headphones in his ears. A case for the equally brilliant and tough Rita Aitzinger and her colleague Ilia Schuster from the homicide department. Between opera, a train station pub, and a burger joint, they become increasingly entangled in a thicket of references: pop songs, dating app profiles, mysterious tattoos – they are the key to solving the case, Rita is convinced. Or has she fallen into the trap of a psychopathic murderer? Was Sebastian Tamm not the first victim at all? And what does the shy patrol officer Gerd Lampe have to do with it?.
