Rungholt is cult! The second case of the most unconventional investigator of the Middle Ages in a modern reissue. Lübeck, during Passion Week in 1392: A heatwave suffocates the city, but the honorable citizens feel their blood freeze in their veins. Corpses are found with stones in their chests instead of hearts. At the request of the magistrate, the gruff patrician Rungholt investigates with his helpers, Captain Marek and the sharp-witted surgeon Sinje, whose cheeky spirit of contradiction and medical knowledge fascinate him quite a bit. However, the solution to this bizarre case lies not in a foreign land, but within Rungholt himself: in his greatest, unatoned sin - and with a pious wandering preacher.
