A new Andreas Auer mystery after the #1 bestselling LE DRAGON DU MUVERAN (over 50,000 copies sold!) An assassin eliminates a Russian politician at the Berlin Opera House in the middle of a performance before being sent on his next mission, to Gryon — a peaceful, idyllic little Swiss village in the mountains that is home to Detective Andreas Auer. But Gryon is anything but peaceful. Auer has just stopped a serial killer who terrorized the region. Now, recently suspended, Auer unexpectedly finds himself helping a friend prepare for a cattle judging competition which can turn out to be a deadly world. A series of new murders propels Aueur back into investigative-mode with the help of his boyfried Mickaël, a journalist. While the first murder seems like a simple case of vengeance, Aueur and Mickaël realize the motivations are far more sinister with a long list of suspects. Meanwhile, a young man with severe mommy issues is terrorizing women in the area. When these two investigations unintentionally cross paths, things get very personal for Aueur and Mickaël. Marc Voltenauer est né en 1973 d'une mère suédoise et d'un père allemand. Il a étudié la théologie à l'Université de Genève. En tant que fan de thrillers scandinaves, il a été inspiré pour écrire sa propre série dans le pittoresque village de montagne de Gryon.
