THE CRIME ACADEMY: Blade of Death (Vol. II)

  • A dead girl, a string of historic murders and a debt that must be paid: Book 2 in the exciting series set on the island of Rügen.
  • The Crime Academy trains future detectives in an unconventional and potentially life-threatening line of work.

Think like a murderer. But never become his victim.

A girl’s body is discovered in an abandoned children’s home on the island of Rügen. Sixteen-year-old Isa has been brutally murdered, and a black rose is found at the scene. The police alert ex-police commissioner Henry Zornik. Five years ago, a string of murders of young tourists brought terror to the island. This murder bears the same bloody hallmark as the “rose murderer” from that time. Zornik himself convicted him. Is Isa’s murderer a copycat killer? Or is the real rose murderer killing again, and does he already have his blade of death trained on his next victim? The teacher and students at the Crime Academy have to stop any more murders being committed. But they have no idea how close to them the perpetrator has already come.

“Todesglut is just the beginning (…) hard-hitting and brutal (…) resolved in a breathtaking showdown.” Christine Jacob, Leipziger Volkszeitung
“If you want another breathtaking read (…) Todesglut. The Crime Academy will leave you unable to stop reading until you know who the killer is.” Sabine Ertz, Saarländischer Rundfunk
