Old Mrs. Huber had really been looking forward to summer: All the inhabitants of the village on vacation – such blissful peace and quiet! But her joy was premature: Something’s brewing in the sweltering heat of Glaubenthal and before long the first corpse is stuck in the straw. Or, to be more precise: in the straw bale.
With marvelous black humor and dark storytelling delight, Thomas Raab once again sends his investigator Hannelore “Hanni” Huber on the hunt for criminals – criminals who appear to belong to two warring families this time: the Praxmosers and the Grubmüllers. So far, so bad. But what in the world does young Helga have to do with all this – this charming creature in a floral dress, whom Huber had never really noticed before? One thing is clear: She’s not nearly as harmless as she looks. And, soon enough, Hanni has to take to her heels so she doesn’t miss the connection.
