Murders that took place 500 years ago in the German medieval city of Zons and murders that take place in the present, nevertheless the murders are still the same! In parallel the two congenial main characters of this novel – Bastian and Emily – act in these two different time lines and are on the hunt for the killer. What Bastian experienced in the past, Emily discovers five hundred years later. An intricate puzzle of city walls, constellations, etc. must be assembled. Fantastic reading experience! Absolute recommendation for reading!
1495: In the peaceful medieval city of Zons, on the banks of the Rhine, a young woman is found hanging from a parapet, assaulted and mutilated. A month later, another maiden falls prey. Bastian Mühlenberg, head of the City Guard, is determined to decipher the murderer’s gruesome code, unaware that he and the woman he loves are in the killer’s sights. With the help of an old psychic, a priest, and the stars above, Mühlenberg must solve the “fatal puzzle” before it’s too late.
Present day: Journalist Emily Richter is thrilled when she’s assigned a series of articles about the historic Zons killings. However, right before her stories are to be published, a young woman’s body is found hanging from a city tower—grossly maimed and wearing a linen gown, like her medieval predecessors. Detective Oliver Bergmann leads the investigation, tapping the knowledge of the attractive young journalist. Working together—and using Mühlenberg’s old notes—they race to stay one step ahead of the copycat killer.
This is a good mystery and it will keep you guessing. The book will skip around between different time periods you will figure it out for yourself as you read. It will move back to the medieval times and back to the modern times and the puzzle keep you reading. It was hard to put down at times because you want to know if they solve the puzzle. You will need to read the book.
