Lesung & Gespräch mit Anne Stern: „Die weiße Nacht“

In the organizer's words:

The first case for Lou & König: a post-war thriller, historically accurate, moving and extremely exciting!

Detective Inspector Alfred König has to deal with a woman's body in the snow during the starving winter of 1946/47. The young photographer Lou Faber has found the body in the ruins and involuntarily contributes to the investigation with her photos. As Christmas Eve approaches, Lou cannot let go of the folded hands of the dead woman. She uses her intuition to help König and soon suspects that there is a secret behind his silence that connects them. The discovery of more bodies puts the investigators under time pressure and points them in a new direction, back into the dark past.
