Two corpses and a circus. Timmendorfer Strand, 1965: Police Chief Knut Madsen is called to a barn on the outskirts of Timmendorfer Strand. There he encounters a gruesome scene: two brutally murdered people – 16-year-old Anton, a local boy, and a young, unknown woman. Charlotte, Anton's girlfriend, survives, severely injured. She is the only witness, but lies in a coma in intensive care. What were the two boys and the young woman doing in the barn, and why did two of them have to die? Together with his colleague Mikkel Johannsen, Knut begins the investigation. The Hinz Circus is performing nearby. The director remains silent, and the atmosphere is tense. Is the perpetrator part of the troupe – or does the trail lead somewhere else entirely? The first historical coastal crime series in which a police family investigates. With more than 2.5 million readers, Salim Güler is one of Germany's most popular crime authors. His books regularly reach the top of the bestseller lists. New product
