Totengold

A skull in the Edersee and Nazi gold in the Darknet – Volume 9 of the crime series from Hesse.

In the crime novel "Totengold," bestselling authors Daniel Holbe and Ben Tomasson send their detectives Sabine Kaufmann and Ralph Angersbach on their ninth investigation. The picturesque setting of the Edersee is abruptly disturbed when two anglers pull a skull from the water. This is compounded by a suspected far-right attack on a politician and a tip from the Darknet that also leads to the region: Someone is trying to sell Nazi gold. Ralph Angersbach and Sabine Kaufmann quickly discover that the skull is old, likely washed out from a grave submerged in the lake. Is there a connection between the gold and the attack on the politician? The Erdmann family repeatedly emerges at the center of the investigation, but concrete evidence is lacking. Then the Edersee reveals more body parts.

A sophisticated and twisty crime novel with a provocative mix of criminal, political, and personal depths and entanglements. The bestselling duo Holbe and Tomasson once again combines classic police investigations with contemporary issues and strong characters in this ninth installment of the crime series. Fans of crime series like "Tatort" or "Polizeiruf 110" will find this highly engaging.

The cases of the detective duo Sabine Kaufmann and Ralph Angersbach have been published in the following order: Giftspur, Schwarzer Mann, Sühnekreuz, Totengericht, Blutreigen, Strahlentod, Schlangengrube, Glutstrom, Totengold.
