The new crime novel by Bernhard Aichner: Max Broll's best friend is in the sights of a murderer. Dramatic scenes unfold at the opening of the new sausage stand of former soccer star Johann Baroni: In the midst of the joyful event, a shot rings out - and Baroni collapses. Grave digger Max Broll is desperate: His best friend cannot die! When he regains consciousness, Max remembers: He saw the shooter. But the supposed perpetrator turns out to be an innocent tourist. There is no motive, no murder weapon, no other witnesses - no one believes Max. He has no choice but to take matters into his own hands and track down the man. And indeed, he soon comes face to face with the murderer - but the killer is clever; nothing can prove his guilt. Max follows him in a breathlessly thrilling chase.
