      • Quercher und der Totengraben

        by Martin Calsow

        Max Quercher discreetly investigates the suicide of an internationally recognized neurobiologist. His research shows that the scientist not only had considerable debts with an ominous start-up, but was also on the verge of proving the effectiveness of a natural substrate against Alzheimer's. However, the newly discovered substance carries incalculable risks once it enters the water system. Unknown forces are trying to take advantage of this for an attack on the water supply of the metropolis of Munich. Author Martin Calsow writes with a scalpel: razor-sharp observations and merciless honesty. He has already proven his skillfulness successfully many times. With „Quercher und der Totengraben.“ He presents his seventh crime novel about the retired police officer Max Quercher. In an almost congenial way, he manages to combine sensitive but still central themes of our time, like the fragility of the water supply and the fight against the treacherous Alzheimer's disease. He intertwines these themes into a plot that is as gripping as it is entertaining. On behalf of his former boss, the edgy ex-commissioner investigates the case of an unusual suicide. With his dry sense of humour, his lack of social skills and his liberal views, he often times gets on his colleagues’ nerves. In his search for the truth, he relentlessly uncovers the abysses of his fellow human beings. „Quercher und der Totengraben“ is filled with biting humour, breathless action, whimsical characters and surprising twists and turns. A page-turner with an idyllic alpine panorama, which is terrifically entertaining and also makes you think about worldwide challenges during these times of pandemics and environmental destruction.
