Allgäu-Premierenlesung | Nicola Förg und Susanne Mischke | Verdammte Weiber
Moderation Susanne Mischke
In "Verdammte Weiber," the 16th volume of the Alpine crime series, the SPIEGEL bestselling author intertwines the mysterious death of a journalist, whose research into the discrimination of women in art, with a thrilling family saga into a gripping case.
The ice on Grüntensee is thin, the early morning biting cold. For the woman who has fallen through the ice, any help comes too late. But what was the former journalist doing here anyway? Irmi Mangold, who had only recently befriended the deceased, Cordula, during a skiing course, does not want to believe it was an accident. Investigating is her passion; she had envisioned retirement to be much easier. Cordula was researching the tragic fate of a forgotten artist. Had she discovered something explosive that she would have been better off not knowing? Did the inheritance dispute with her half-sister play a role? Or did a simmering conflict with the publisher's son escalate, which had already cost Cordula her job?
Sophisticated plots, tension, and current socio-political and environmental issues - this combination makes the crime novels of SPIEGEL bestselling author Nicola Förg a special reading pleasure.
The discrimination of women in art - this is what Cordula, the victim in Nicola Förg's current Alpine crime, intensely researched prior to her death. Above all, the mysterious fate of the unjustly forgotten artist Ilse Schneider-Lengyel, co-founder of Group 47, captivated her. In detail and with gripping intensity, Nicola Förg integrates this research into her new crime novel "Verdammte Weiber."
