Eulenschrei-Max Bentow

In the organizer's words:

In one of Germany's last classic movie theaters, pure suspense is the order of the day when the master of thrills Max Bentow makes a guest appearance. He is one of the most successful German thriller authors, whose novels are all on the bestseller lists. However, he is not only bringing his latest title "Eulenschrei" (Owl Scream) to Gelsenkirchen - a gripping thriller in which the portrait of a mysterious young woman with an owl appears to be the key to a series of violent murders. Gelsenkirchen is not only a venue for events, but also a crime scene: for the eleventh volume of the anthology "Verbrechen nebenan", Max Bentow's short story "Das Messer von Gelsenkirchen", written exclusively for "Mord am Hellweg", transforms the otherwise blue and white Ruhr district city into a sinister crime scene where evil shadows of the past extend into the present.
