With “Kaltblut”, the well-known author Roland Weis returns to the mystical setting of the Black Forest and presents the eleventh volume of his successful crime series about local reporter Alfred.
This eleventh Black Forest crime thriller is set in St. Märgen, an idyllic place in the heart of the Black Forest, and begins with a ghost hike in the Pfisterwald. What was planned as an atmospheric event by the local tourism administration takes a dramatic turn: the hiking group discovers the body of a young farmer from the Baschimattenhof. Alfred, who actually only wanted to report for the online portal "Goodwood Wälder-News", suddenly finds himself in the middle of a new murder case - although he had firmly resolved to distance himself from criminal cases and reorganize his life. But circumstances force him to become an investigator again.
As in all of Roland Weis' novels, "Kaltblut" combines historical facts, regional traditions and a captivating fictional plot. The legend of the Plattenwiibli, the traditional Black Forest coldblood horse breeding as well as real locations and characters - such as the mayor of St. Märgen - give the story a unique authenticity.
