Across Borders - Death in her Eyes

  • First in a series: The German-Austrian border region is shaken by a gruesome murder
  • The first case for the ill-matched detective duo Alexa Jahn and Bernhard Krammer
  • For fans of Anette Hinrichs and Nele Neuhaus 

Evil knows no borders – a spectacular murder case keeps an entire region in suspense

At Brauneck mountain just outside of Lenggries in Bavaria, the dead body of a woman is discovered on a cliff. But what initially looks like a climbing accident, turns out to be a gruesome murder. Straw legs have been sewn onto the torso, and not long afterwards, further body parts turn up in Lake Achen in Tyrol. Are they also from the dead woman's body? But why would the perpetrator distribute the corpse across two countries? This is the first big case for young, driven Chief Inspector Alexa Jahn, who has just taken up her post at the Criminal Investigation Department in Weilheim. She could use all the support she can get, but, at the outset, she cannot count on her disillusioned colleague on the Austrian side, Chief Inspector Bernhard Krammer.

Anna Schneider

Ever since she was a child, Anna Schneider has loved stories. In her grandmother's inn, she listened spellbound to the tales told by the guests, especially when they were full of suspense. This fascination was later reflected in her careers. As a personnel consultant and coach, she experienced on a daily basis what makes people tick, what drives them, and where their inner conflicts lie. As an author, she is interested in perfidious crimes, subtle nuances, and what remains hidden. Her stories begin where the façade crumbles. Always starting with the question: How well do we really know the people closest to us? All volumes of her “Across Borders” series about the unlikely investigative duo Alexa Jahn and Bernhard Krammer are SPIEGEL bestsellers, and “Blood for Blood” is her first psychological page-turner. Anna Schneider lives with her family near Munich.
