Rigor Mortis at the Bar

Enno Prester, an environmental activist and close friend of pub owner Gesine Felber, dies in her arms. His last words leave Gesine puzzled: the white horse rider is a thief. What’s that supposed to mean? Meanwhile, the company Friesenklima wants to build an environmentally friendly holiday resort near Sünnum, Gesine’s East Frisian hometown, promising the local inhabitants a piece of the action. The people of Sünnum don’t want to miss out on an opportunity like that. But when Gesine discovers that before his death, Enno had been investigating Friesenklima, she gets suspicious and becomes determined to find out the truth. But her quest will put her in mortal danger.

The third instalment in the Gesine Felber series, Rigor Mortis at the Bar is a gripping thriller set on the coast of the North Sea, with a good dose of local colour and black humour, and a case that touches on utterly contemporary themes.
