Stollenfahrt

When her husband Mario disappears without a trace two years ago, a world collapses for Friederike Wolkenreich. The fifty-year-old singer returns from Sweden and moves into a former miners' chapel in the Harz university town of Clausthal-Zellerfeld. Here she hopes to finally gain some distance and get over the loss. If it weren't for Heino, the deputy director of the mining office and a friend of the disappeared man, who obviously knows more than he admits. An old painting, shady characters and a dark secret from the past awaken Friederike's detective skills. Undeterred, she sets to work with her new friends to get to the bottom of the mysteries. Her subsequent adventures with a motorbike gang, two bakers with a past and an organist keep the reader in suspense and take him on a journey through the forests, mountains and underground watercourses of the Harz. A book that, for all the tension that slowly builds, moves the reader and makes him laugh.
