"""He's an incurable pessimist with a big heart. Hunkeler has become a cult figure. He walks through life with great appetite and thirst."" Kulturtipp, Zurich ""This silver pebble is in truth a literary gem.""Die Presse, Vienna ""Schneider's crime novels are addictive. As soon as one murder is seemingly solved, you are yearning for a new scoundrel. An obvious sign of addiction!
