'Anna Schneider is a rising star, in my opinion.' Elisabeth Herrmann

They couldn't be more different and yet they have to hunt down a murderer together - the second case for the German-Austrian investigative team Alexa Jahn and Bernhard Krammer.

Nothing works in the border region of Karwendel, heavy snowfalls bring everything to a standstill overnight. In the midst of the chaos, a young woman disappears in Jachenau on her way to her parents' house. In Innsbruck there is an incident in a student dorm, two female students have been missing ever since.
Alexa Jahn and Bernhard Krammer struggle to cooperate across borders under difficult conditions when two more missing person reports come in. Coincidence is now out of the question; the cases must be connected.
Soon Bernhard Krammer has an uneasy feeling: he is reminded of an old case. But before he can tell Alexa Jahn, she makes a serious mistake.

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.
