Death in Summer

A deadly bullet. An innocent victim. A killer without trace.

On a hot summer day banker Philipp Bettlach is killed by a sniper when he is out on the sun-drenched golf course. Hit by the deadly bullet in the middle of a golf stroke, no-one saw the murderer, and no-one knows what happened. Philipp had no obvious enemies, so why would someone have targeted him?

As conversations with those who knew Philipp turn up no evidence, Commissioner Eschenbach, assigned to the case from Zurich, feels sure that there’s more to the story. Someone must be hiding something…

Could it be young Doris Hottiger, the former lover of the victim?

Or Johannes Bettlach - Philipp’s brother and the influential president of a private bank?

Or does the victim’s seemingly irreproachable ex-wife have something she’s not telling him?

As lies and deceit abound, Commissioner Eschenbach must get to the bottom of this mysterious and calculated murder.
