In the organizer's words:

Good crime fiction lives from the setting, the landscape, the local color, often just as much as from the cases and investigations. Four masters of their craft play in a wide variety of regions (the list is given at increasing intervals from the cathedral city): Wolfgang Schorlau 's latest case takes Stuttgart investigator Dengler to the BlackForest. Tom Hillenbrand cooks, murders and investigates in Luxembourg (most recently: Verhängnisvoller Champagner). Lenz Koppelstätter's Commissario Grauner goes on the hunt for criminals in South Tyrol (most recently: Am Hang des Todes). And Jean-Luc Bannalec presents a new case for Inspector Dupin every year (most recently: Breton Temptations). One thing is certain: crime happens everywhere. But are murders committed differently in Stuttgart than on the Belle-Île? The authors talk to globetrotter Margarete von Schwarzkopf about their detectives, cases, research and the peculiarities of the regions.
