LESUNG / Krimis aus der Provinz / Sandra Beckedahl und Klaas Kroon

In the organizer's words:

A friendly organic supplier is murdered in the Schorfheide, a harmless local journalist in the Wendland. In Sandra Beckedahl's Uckermark, Berlin hippsters meet those who have always been there. Klaas Kroon's search for clues in Wendland leads back to the opening of the border in November 1989. Exciting stories that can only be found in the deepest provinces.

Hamburg authors Klaas Kroon and Sandra Beckedahl read from their novels and talk about how to set thrillers in areas where nothing is actually happening.

Klaus Kroon / "The Wendland File"
A dead woman is found in a forest near Gartow. Strangled to death. Village policewoman Sabine Langkafel identifies the murder victim as journalist Martina Breesen from Salzwedel. The policewoman and her colleague Melanie Gierke from the Lüneburg CID are initially targeted by ominous environmentalists. During their investigations, the two also come across an accident victim from the night the border was opened in 1989. A confusing game of deception and missing files begins - and puts Sabine in mortal danger.

Sandra Beckedahl / "Schorfheiden Murder"
Murder in the tranquil Uckermark. Where hip Berliners meet old-established residents who feel driven out of their homes by the newcomers. Subliminal conflicts erupt when Ben, who trades in organic vegetable crates and goes in and out of both worlds, is found dead. Beaten to death in the woods. Detective Paul Montgomery has to find the murderer of a man who apparently had no enemies. He discovers a world full of secrets and realizes that it could have been anyone.
