IM WEIßEN KREIS. Ein Fall für Louise Bonì/ WITHIN THE WHITE CIRCLE.
A Case for Louise Bonì
Crime Fiction, ca. 350pp.
Autumn 2015
Quadruple German Crime Fiction Prize winner
»The Scandinavian crime novel-obsessed Germans don’t have to look far – Freiburg is quite far enough. « Frankfurter Rundschau on ›Das verborgene Netz‹
Finally a new case for Louise Bonì
Louise Boni, Chief Commissioner of the CID in Freiburg im Breisgau, receives a tip off that a man has bought two weapons from a Russian criminal. Louise follows this up, in order to prevent a possible assassination attempt. Her investigations lead her to the Neo Nazi scene and in a newspaper article, she stumbles across the ‘perfect murder victim’: Ludwig Kabangu, a Rwandan, demanding the return of the skeletal remains of one of his ancestors from the University of Freiburg. Scientists had brought these to Germany some hundred years ago under the auspices of ‘race’ research. Providing protection, Louise accompanies Kabangu – and they are actually attacked by two armed men the very next day. A Special Operations Unit arrives at a timely moment and kills the attackers, apparently under instruction from the Criminal Investigations Office in Stuttgart. Yet how did they know of the goings on?
One of the Neo Nazis that Louise had questioned is obviously a mole for the State Protection Office. When this man is found dead shortly afterwards, it is clear that the danger is not over yet …
