From Mozart balls, music, and murder. A gripping crime novel set in the festival city of Salzburg for fans of Manfred Baumann, Beate Maxian, and Andreas Föhr.

“It’s a stupid feeling to show up at the home of two upstanding citizens and say: Good day, we’re from the police. Have you perhaps stumbled upon a corpse in your flower bed today?”

Festival season in Salzburg. “Jeeedermann!” echoes the call of death over the cathedral square. And in a garden, a young couple is digging up a human skeleton. In their investigation of this gruesome discovery, Dina Stassny and Adrian Billinger from the LKA uncover the unresolved death of a singer and a complicated case full of suspects. Time and again, the bright red, highly toxic Paternoster peas play a role. When a young writer dies from poisoned Mozart balls, it becomes clear that the murderer is still at large - and possibly planning more murders.
