A hiking group discovers an "Ötzi" on the way to the Morteratsch Glacier in Graubünden. The brilliant yet eccentric scientist Johannes Aschendorffer, with the help of his cunning Anatolian caretaker, steals the glacier mummy and brings it to a completely isolated research institute in Baden's Freiburg. There, against the wishes of his team, he intends to conduct experiments on the 5,000-year-old body. His goal: to bring the Ice Man back to life. The Swiss cantonal police, alerted by a lead on this abducted find, are hot on the professor's trail, as are the German criminal police and the sensationalist press. Will biochemist Fredericke Biesthal and molecular biologist Murij Amresh succeed in preventing the worst? "Weis has a knack for whimsical regional crime novels."
