Patsy Logan, 38, German-Irish detective chief inspector with the State Office of Criminal Investigations in Munich, is investigating a renowned online company. The case quickly attracts attention, media and internal pressure is huge. And Patsy’s private life also becomes increasingly troubled…

It quickly becomes clear: She didn’t jump of her own accord. Patsy delves deeper and deeper into Carolin’s life and the structures of Skiller, encounters a web of lies and empty facades. Especially when she is sent to Skiller’s headquarters in Dublin, a place she has been avoiding since her father’s suicide. Not a good omen. And immediately things start to happen very fast …

Hard Landing is the first installment of a new crime series revolving around DCI Patsy Logan. Quick-witted and stubborn, the ‘woman of the hour’ delivers results – with good sense, dry humour and an instinct that unnerves no one more than herself.
