Crime story with Philipp Gurt

The larch trees glow gold, the lakes in the Upper Engadin glitter deep blue, when Corina Costa, alpine policewoman and mountain farmer, is alerted on her small farm above Pontresina. Two young women of a tour group from Germany, who were camping wildly, were found dead next to their tent - mutilated as if a brown bear was the culprit. The violent death of Berlin's TikTok icons is going viral. Instead of avoiding the crime scene, sensationalists travel to the Engadine, and the devil's hunt for tourists continues.

Philipp Gurt was born in 1968 as the seventh of eight children of a poor mountain farming family in Graubünden and grew up in various children's homes. Gurt wrote short stories as a teenager, followed by his first novel at the age of twenty. He has always had an intimate relationship with nature, which was also to shape his highly atmospheric writing. His connection to the canton of Graubünden, where he still lives today as a freelance writer, can be felt in each of his novels.
