Bernd Leix reads from his Black Forest crime thriller "hornisGRAU", published in 2020. Marie Schwarz and Gottfried Wald, the two special investigators from the State Office of Criminal Investigation, are an unlikely pair, but they share a common goal: to hunt down criminals and bring them to justice. In their third case, the detectives are called to the Hornisgrinde. A severed leg is sticking out of a high moor pond. There's nothing on it except a worn-out hiking boot and lots of unappetising insects. Does the shoe and its contents belong to a missing person from the ecology scene who was active on various fronts and often caused offence?  We kindly ask for your reservation and note that the black forest crime reading will be in German language.
