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.
