The new crime bestseller by bestselling author Daniel Holbe: Murderous tension from Hesse and the third case for Sabine Kaufmann and Ralph Angersbach. While Sabine Kaufmann tries to clarify the strange circumstances surrounding her mother's suicide, Ralph Angersbach investigates the case of a murdered landowner. Ralph suspects old rivalries but struggles to connect with the taciturn villagers. He quickly asks Sabine for help, and together they discover a strange connection between the suicide and the murder: at both crime scenes, there is a penance cross. Pure coincidence? Together, the investigators uncover a lead to a biogas corn company that acquires land through ruthless methods and is allegedly willing to go to any lengths. This is the continuation of the two bestsellers "Giftspur" and "Schwarzer Mann.".
