Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A washed-up ex-commissioner, a seemingly trivial missing person case, and the perfect, sterile Basel that bleeds beneath the surface.The scent of damp earth, yellowed files, and cold Ueli beer: Lukas "Luki" Keller (55) is not a man for a tailored suit. With his field jacket at the ready and his worn bottle opener as his faithful companion, the former Basel police officer couldn't care less about official protocols. When, instead of the Chihuahua he was looking for, he discovers a disturbing trail of wood shavings and an old secret in the idyllic Merian Gardens, he has no idea what a hornet's nest he's about to stir up.Here, where the bourgeois upper class polishes its facade with perfect lies, the greatest crime isn't murder-it's the truth. Along with the cracks in the system, Luki digs deeper than the elite would like. Because anyone who disrupts the game of the powerful becomes a target themselves.
