"The Event", a reading with Antje Zimmermann
Bookshop Kortenkamp
An abandoned hotel on Germany’s only offshore island. Inside, Stephen King’s *The Shining* comes to life.
Full of hope, Inspector Leandra Kern has come to Heligoland from Hamburg to fulfil her lifelong dream. Trainee Inspector Maxi Adler has returned to her birthplace only under immense pressure.
As the events surrounding the hotel become increasingly frightening, the two very different women are forced to work together and find themselves confronted with a murder that turns the whole situation into reality once and for all.
