This is the starting point for Mechtild Borrmann's latest suspense novel, which the author will be presenting at the city library on 26 September.

"I'm really looking forward to the reading, because I'm a big fan of this captivating combination of fact and fiction - and probably not just me", enthuses Klaudia Kroesen, Head of the Novel Department.
