The Sylt Thrillers with Mamma Carlotta IV

Mamma Carlotta is a cult figure! Two unabridged cases of the charming investigator at a take-home price.

In the turbulent Sylt crime novels by Gisa Pauly, Mamma Carlotta's temperament clashes with the mentality of the island's residents. The Italian woman frequently inserts herself into the police investigations of her taciturn Frisian son-in-law. Cooking pasta and staring at the North Sea? Not with Mamma Carlotta around!

"Against the Wind" - Mamma Carlotta volunteers at the annual Sylt Run when a young athlete suddenly collapses and dies. Dio mio! The seventeen-year-old had seemed unwell even before the start – was doping involved? Indeed, a medication is found in his blood, but that suggests murder!

"Bird Trap" - Mamma Carlotta has long believed that her son-in-law, Chief Inspector Erik Wolf, drives far too slowly. She herself is more of a fast-paced person. But illegal races on Sylt? That crosses the line for the resolute Italian woman. Especially when a hearse crashes during one of these races.
