One morning, Marika Wenger – doctoral student in the paleontology department at
the University of Basel – finds the lifeless body of her best friend. The
victim's thesis has disappeared; that and a previous argument between the two
friends makes Marika suspect in the eyes of everyone, including the police.
Determined to prove her innocence, she sets out on the trail of the real
culprit. She is warned off of it, but not even a death threat and a home
invasion can keep her away. The police breathing down her neck, she keeps
delving into the matter, but Franca's killer is coming nearer and nearer,
placing her at great risk…
"Schwermetall" – a gripping environmental detective novel that leads
far beyond Switzerland.
