Glühwein-Krimi – Cinnamon Trail beneath the Cathedral (English)

Cinnamon Trail beneath the Cathedral – the new Glühwein-Krimi

Anne Kessler is back. The renowned spice expert celebrates her comeback – 15 years after an incident nobody has spoken about since.

Minutes before a hastily announced press conference, she vanishes without a trace. Her assistant raises the alarm: Anne has been kidnapped. In front of her stall lies a perfectly drawn circle of cinnamon. At its centre, an unmistakable message reads: “2011 – the circle closes today.” A narrow cinnamon arrow points straight towards Essen Cathedral.

Detective Feldhaus reacts immediately. A neighbouring market stall becomes the investigation headquarters. As the first clues are secured, five more cinnamon circles appear – outside the very stalls whose owners were more closely connected to Anne in 2011 than they are willing to admit today.
