Last Judge: A Twisty Cozy Police Procedural Murder Mystery Series (Murder in the Dunes Book 11)
By Heidi Hinrichs
Murder in the dunes: A new mystery series where dark secrets lurk beneath the surface, with a dash of humor to keep things afloat.
“When the Klabautermann cries, he brings the guilty home.”
A crab fisherman is found dead on his cutter — with a crab box over his head. For Detective Enna Koopmann and her partner Pavel Neuhof, one thing is immediately clear: this was no ordinary murder. The macabre staging is reminiscent of an old legend about the crab judge who watches over those who set sail with dark hearts
.
While relentless rain bathes Fleetstedt in gray light and floods the marshes, the investigation takes Enna and Pavel back into the past. To a stormy night in 1988, when a young fisherman disappeared without a trace and only his yellow raincoat washed ashore. For decades, the witnesses of that night remained silent — until one of them could no longer keep quiet.
But who is still guarding the dark secret? And how far will they go to keep it? When a second witness finds themselves in mortal danger, it becomes clear: the crab judge has returned — and he will pass his judgment.
