Twelve short stories that pack a punch. True to the motto: First, things turn out differently, and second, not as one thinks. In "Summer Night," Robert Mendelski and Maike Schnur from the Celle Criminal Police face a thunderstorm and a seemingly invisible yet real danger in a remote hunting lodge. "Cold" tells of a sinister plan to get rid of an unwanted spouse. In "Snipe Stroke," everything leads to a relationship inferno. "On Thin Ice" lures with "Frozen Fox" and illustrates how difficult it can sometimes be for a hunter to retrieve their well-deserved prey. A uniquely crafted sausage is part of a devilish revenge scheme. "The Wolf's Hook" tackles a highly relevant topic and sends shivers down the reader's spine. "The Unwanted Christmas Visitor" also deals with the theme of the wolf. And for the story "The Diamonds.".
