A cosy crime with Germany’s favourite politician.  

Angela Merkel retired six weeks ago and moved to the Uckermark region with her husband and her pug, more specifically to Kleinfreudenstadt, situated on the beautiful Dumpfsee. After her turbulent life in Berlin, however, she finds it difficult to settle into tranquil country life. Just baking and hiking soon gets boring. When Baron Philip von Baugenwitz is poisoned and found dressed in knight’s armour inside a dungeon that is locked from the inside, Angela is revitalised. Finally, a problem that needs to be solved!

Supported by her loving husband and gentle bodyguard Mike, she sets off on the dangerous search for the murderer. Will Angela find him? Will she feel at home in Kleinfreudenstadt? Will she find a true female friend for the first time in her life? Or will one of the six female suspects finish her off first? Questions that only a great detective can answer!
