Silence for the Dead

Four years ago, a bullet in the thigh destroyed Alexander Hinkel's chances of becoming a police captain. But that didn't do anything to his ability to see through a suspect's lies. On the contrary, his instincts and observations are sharper than ever. That's why his ex-colleagues still come knocking on Hinkel's door when they get stuck with investigations. In the city of Agrippa, where crime is rife, there are currently more unsolved murders than the police can handle, and Hinkel earns good money from freelance detective work. He has only one condition: He works alone.

Agrippa's only remaining library sits hidden in the city, the large rooms now mostly cloaked in silence. Few people come here anymore. Few people know that the library still exists. But someone knows... Behind the high shelves full of old books the young, blonde librarian, Ju Miller, sits motionless with a book open on her lap. It looks as if she's sleeping, but she is dead. Ju Miller has been murdered. And now Hinkel and Janke have to find out why, and by whom.

SILENCE FOR THE DEAD is the sixth in a series of whodunit novelettes by well-known author Anna Emm*! It is the ideal reading matter for anyone with little time, because these novelettes can each be read in an hour or two.
