Funny, earthy, off-beat and warm-hearted: The Bavarian crime thriller series by Rita Falk became an instantaneous<br />
success. All three titles in the series are bestsellers and the respectless character of country constable Franz Eberhofer and his<br />
hilarious commentary on events quickly became cult. Further titles are in preparation.<br />

For disciplinary reasons, Franz Eberhofer is forced to leave his post with the<br />
Munich police and is transferred to his home village of Niederkaltenkirchen in<br />
Lower Bavaria.<br />
There, he is a pen-pusher with a cushy job - his patrols invariably ending up in the<br />
pub for a beer with Wolfi or at the dinner table of his stone-deaf grandmother. All<br />
very relaxing, which is just as well considering the trouble he has with his weedgrowing<br />
old hippie of a father, who drives him round the bend with his perpetual<br />
playing of Beatles records.<br />
However, when a real case finally does land on his desk, it is truly bizarre -<br />
members of the Neuhofer family are being killed in the most peculiar ways.<br />
Mother Neuhofer is found hanged in the woods. The father, an electrician, is<br />
electrocuted.<br />
Now there's only Hans left. And who knows what lies in store for him. The<br />
investigations into these gruesome murders lead Franz Eberhofer all the way to<br />
Majorca....<br />

Franz Eberhofer's relationship with Susi is ticking along quite nicely and his<br />
pigsty of a home is finally approaching something resembling order. But then<br />
things start spinning out of control in Niederkaltenkirchen.<br />
The body of high school teacher Hopfli is found on the railway line. Okay, he<br />
may have been a royal pain in the arse, but is that any reason to do a runner and<br />
then turn up dead on the tracks? And was it suicide or murder?<br />
Franz is well and truly pissed off; Susi has fled to Italy, and now he finds his<br />
investigations leading him into the murky world of gay hustlers and rent boys.<br />
And as if that wasn't enough, he's lumbered with the tedious chore of<br />
babysitting his brother's ghastly toddler.<br />
It's just as well he has his dear old granny to look after his creature comforts,<br />
because he'll need all his strength for the bloodcurdling showdown with a<br />
fearsome former legionnaire.<br />
