Crime Festival 3

At the third Crime Festival evening, four well-known authors from Austria and Germany present their latest works and discuss them. Oliver Bottini reads from "The Sum of All Things," a politically explosive crime novel about the consequences of unchecked greed, set from Capri to London. Daniel Faßbender presents "Heaven’s Gate," in which a former professional surfer in the Philippines gets caught up in a whirlpool of drugs and corruption.

Ursula Poznanski captivates with the psychological thriller "The Signal," which explores the ambivalence of modern technology between security and threat. Eva Rossmann, a fixture of the Crime Festival, introduces "Light Burns" – an investigation in the publishing scene linked to a dubious TV career. The readings and discussions are moderated by Manfred Mittermayer, Ines Schütz, and Lily and Tomas Friedmann. Musical intros by the DJ collective Tanzbar round off the evening atmospherically.
