        The horse killer

        A strange story from Mecklenburg

        by Siegfried Stang

        A series of cruel horse murders in the Mecklenburg Lake District is causing disgust and horror nationwide. However, the police are initially groping in the dark and are coming under increasing pressure. This is also felt by Chief Inspector Tim Asfeld, the investigator in charge. And suddenly it is no longer just about the horses. People are also in acute danger of their lives. The young theology student Pia, who lives alone in a deserted bungalow settlement in the fall, is increasingly drawn into the maelstrom of events. She is exposed to strange, aggressive actions, the reason for which she puzzles and who is responsible. Then the events come thick and fast. And several people die. Author Siegfried Stang has incorporated his decades of experience as a criminalist into an exciting and only gradually understandable story. Thus the novel can convince with a realistic representation. Similarities with living or already deceased persons would be however nevertheless purely coincidental. The author of the book succeeds in describing the psychological background of the crimes in a plausible and comprehensible way. The criminologists and the reader only learn bit by bit why everything happens the way it did - seemingly inevitably.

In the last battle, end of the war, he lost his voice by a sword blow to the head. After the war, Jacob found work on a farm and became friends with Max, the farmer's twelve-year-old son. When Max was kidnapped by jugglers, Jacob, after he had brought in the harvest, went in pursuit of the jugglers ...Many scenes in this book are hard and brutal. They reflect the time during and after the 30-year war. This makes the human attributes such as love, friendship, loyalty, faith and hope stand out.
