At dawn, the impoverished artist Henri Keksel is found upside down in a manhole. The police classify the bizarre death in Düsseldorf's old town as an accident. But journalist Sven Berger has doubts and sets off in search of clues. We read about forged paintings and delve deep into the art milieu of the state capital while looking at the illustrations.
Jens Prüss, born in 1954 in Rottweil am Neckar, works as a versatile author, journalist and cabaret artist in Düsseldorf. The photos in this volume were taken by his wife Edeltraut Prüss, who translated the text into pictures.
