hotel is not what it seems: some of the guests do not have

Death comes in many guises and in the most unlikely

locations: in the cosy surroundings of hotel bars, on sunlit ski

slopes and on thin ice.

At last, connoisseurs of crime fiction all over the world can

enjoy an English translation of these evocative tales of dark

foreboding. This book makes a wonderful travel companion, or

one can stay at home by the fire and enter a fascinating world

of passion and revenge.

Ulrich Knellwolf, a true master of irony and the

tongue-in-cheek, has produced a captivating collection of

wicked page-turners.
