Crime Suspense Anthology

Nimmt das Wildbret des Waidmanns seiner Frau die Luft zum Atmen? Kann Aberglaube Leben retten? Und warum starb der Büchernarr? Schon die kleinsten Unaufmerksamkeiten können tödliche Folgen haben. Bei Sekundenschlaf oder einem Postflug über den Dschungel in einer stürmischen Nacht ist das ja noch verständlich, bei einem Hexenturm oder einem Blind Date aber weniger. Und doch schleicht sich der Tod auf leisen Sohlen an. Wir schenken euch eine überraschende Wendung am Morgen, einen Schrecken gegen Mittag, eine Gänsehaut am Abend und spannende Träume für die Nacht.
