Gasperlmaier and the Lederhosen Corpse. Even Gasperlmaier has never seen anything like this. He has encountered many things over his more than twenty years as a police officer in Altaussee. But a stabbing victim found on a Monday morning in the festival tent at the Altausseer Kirtag is too much even for a seasoned man like him. Thus, he makes a wrong decision, not the last one of the day, and the dead man, slumped in his own blood in the festival tent, will not be the only victim. In his first crime novel, Herbert Dutzler sets a murderous carousel in motion that reveals the unsightly sides of the picturesque postcard image of Aussee. Told consistently from Gasperlmaier's perspective, Dutzler finds a unique tone that authentically captures the local color. With the endearingly clumsy village policeman, he has created an original investigator.
