Zen and the Art of Murder: Winner of the German Crime Fiction Award Louise Boni drinks too much. The maverick inspector in Germany`s Black Forest police squad is haunted by the mistakes she`s made and the people she`s lost. While she`s dreading the approach of another lonely winter weekend, a call from her supervisor draws her into the most bizarre case of her career. A badly beaten Japanese monk is roaming the snowy Freiburg region with little more than sandals and a begging bowl, and the frightened holy man appears to be fleeing an unseen danger. Now Boni must battle both skeptical police authorities and her personal demons as her investigation reveals a hidden crime ring as well as a spiritual opportunity to transform her life. The first book in the Black Forest Investigation series, Zen and the Art of Murder is `a surprising and genuinely shocking case.` The Sunday Times (U.K.) `An exciting new voice in crime fiction emerges with Zen and the Art of Murder, the first novel in Oliver Bottini`s Black Forest Investigation series. Both baffling and affecting in turn, and always entertaining. It`s an excellent beginning to a thrilling new series.` Foreword Review, Englisch, Ebook.
