On an evening in April, Gernot Junker, the most significant garden architect of our time, disappears from the Schwetzingen Palace Park. There are no signs of foul play. A mysterious find in the University Library of Heidelberg may play a role. Johannes Hucke, who has made a name for himself in the region with his wine harvest books about the South Palatinate, the Bergstrasse, and the Kraichgau, as well as numerous wine-related crime stories and plays, takes us on a journey through the world-famous Schwetzingen landscape, traversing time and the overgrown gardens of the soul. Tension, wit, and a touch of fantasy underpin this playful mystery for avid readers. In the end, the main investigator turns out to be none other than the reader themselves.
