Michael Schwarzmaier does not shy away from accompanying Wallner and Kreuthner in this case with wit and tension - in an unmistakably Bavarian way. In Bavaria, the "Reaper" is on the loose - case 12 for the cult detectives from Tegernsee. "Frost on the Ground" is the 12th Bavarian crime novel by bestselling author Andreas Föhr. Regional charm meets intelligent suspense with a touch of dark humor. After Leonhardt Kreuthner causes an embarrassing incident with the new police chief, he is sentenced to lead the annual children's afternoon of the Miesbach police on the grounds of a former farm. There, he explains typical police situations to the children, including what happens when the police are called to a fight. Two appropriately decorated mannequins represent the involved brawlers. However, one of the children discovers another victim of the fight nearby. As it turns out, this is not a mannequin - but the victim of a murder. The dead man holds a sickle in one hand and a grain ear in the other. The case closely resembles an unsolved series of murders that abruptly ended ten years ago. Is the "Reaper" back? Commissioner Wallner, Kreuthner, and the Miesbach police have their hands full. A regional crime novel from Bavaria with brains and black humor. Andreas Föhr portrays his characters as lovingly as they are lifelike, without making them ridiculous. His entertaining crime series captivates with highly suspenseful, intelligent cases and plenty of authentic Bavarian local color.
