Black Forest

Strange singing, the myth of a witch and the gruesome death of a young girl: two very different investigators are faced with a seemingly supernatural puzzle. Karla Seitz brilliantly combines fast-paced dialogue with shocking cases.

The idyllic view over the Ravenna Gorge in the Black Forest is deceptive on this fateful morning. As the heavy fog lifts, the body of eight-year-old Mia is found beside the trail - cold, stiff and ruthlessly murdered. The uncanny and mystifying nature of the crime soon. Witnesses claim to have heard mysterious singing. Rumours of a witch wandering in Hell Valley are circulating ... And Jan Bruck, the investigating officer, has no leads.

After discovering that a young girl disappeared in the same place forty years ago, he seeks help from an unlikely source: Charlotte Herzfeldt is a professor of paranormal phenomena and specialises in such mysteries. Together the unlikely investigative duo attempt to piece together the increasingly baffling parts of the jigsaw. But the truth is playing its own game.
