Could a German soldier returning from the "war on terror" in Afghanistan, with his severe traumas, have engaged in dangerous work? Another brave political detective story from Schorlau.
A commissioned sergeant major, who was post-traumatically disorganized, became aggressive with tantrums, and received psychiatric treatment after returning from the German army's "duty" in Afghanistan, disappeared. The soldier's wife seeks help from private detective Georg Dengler. It turns out that the sergeant major is also wanted by the police. In contrast, the army does not seem to have much interest in searching for its missing soldier. Meanwhile, some mysterious murders are being committed... In the background of this dark case, the novel looks back at what is "actually" happening in Afghanistan. Elite unit, ambushes... Some caves in Germany and Italy - and the caves of the Taliban... Our detective goes after strange connections and clues that force intelligence to work overtime. On the other hand, we follow the private life of detective Dengler, with whom the reader has now become friends, his emotional turmoil, his passionate relationship with his lover...
“It is a great thing that there is a crime writer in Germany who takes the injustices in society seriously, instead of praising the 'selfless service' of the police in Germany. That's why the good guys don't win in Kavuran Soğuk either.”
