Newcomer: Krischan Koch “War of the Starfish”
The twelfth volume by Krischan Koch is one of the newcomers to the Spiegel bestseller list.
When a death occurs in a newly created crop circle, village police officer Thies Detlefsen and his colleague, KHK Nicole Stappenbek from Husum, are called onto the scene.
They find that traditional investigative methods are not sufficient in this case.
Mysterious things happen in late summer Fredenbüll.
Driverless cars whiz across the countryside, crops sprout at an unusual pace and mysterious drumming can be heard in the night.
Could it be that the North Frisian coastal village has found itself in the crosshairs of an alien force?
The predecessors, such as “Panfish for the Godfather”, delighted readers with funny dialogues and dry humor.
For all fans of coastal crime novels and books set by the sea.
Piet Paulsen can't believe his eyes: “UFOs over Fredenbüll?
It can't be done at all." But he is sure: "The thing floats and glows.
The aliens have landed.” And then there is a dead person in the newly created crop circle.

Excitement in the Spiegel bestseller list: Maria Grund “Crow’s Daughter”
The Swedish author's first two volumes, “Fox Girl” and “Rotwild”, promised excitement until the last page.
They are among the ten Swedish crime novels that are worth a closer look.
The crime novels and thrillers from Scandinavia often belong to the Nordic Noir genre.
The third crime thriller also provides exciting moments: When Sanna notices that another girl from her village is missing, she begins to investigate on her own and comes across discrepancies in the evidence from the past.
Although she encounters distrust and rejection from the villagers, she doesn't give up.
With every step she takes deeper into the thicket of lies and secrets, her determination to uncover the truth and find the missing girl grows, before it's too late again.
Småland, March 1986. Ice fog hangs over the two mirror-smooth lakes, which look like lifeless eyes in the barren landscape.
The sight of her gives Sanna, who has recently trained as a police officer, a shiver because two years earlier the bloody remains of a missing girl were found in two white suitcases right here.
The cruel murderer has been behind bars ever since - at least that's what the residents of the village of Augu believe.
