A corpse in the woods, a missing witness, and an ancient cannon: "Deadwood" is the 11th Bavarian crime novel from Andreas Föhr's humorous crime series featuring the cult investigators Wallner and Kreuthner.

Leo Kreuthner is beside himself: some scoundrel has dared to compete with him in the moonshine business! This must be stopped immediately – if necessary, with the help of an old cannon from the 18th century. Meanwhile, a somewhat reluctant witness statement leads Commissioner Wallner and the Miesbach criminal police to a corpse buried in the woods, so badly burned that it cannot be identified. Shortly thereafter, the witness also disappears without a trace, but an initial lead points to three remote estates. Conversations with the reclusive residents prove to be bizarre and challenging, and Wallner soon suspects that all three families harbor dark secrets. But who is connected to the corpse in the woods? Humorous regional crime novels filled with wit and intelligence.
