The Last Flight

Stuttgart Crime Award 2012

His sixth case leads Georg Dengler to Berlin. Professor Dr. Bernhard Voss, doctor at the Charité hospi-tal, is suspected of having committed a terrible crime. His defence counsel asks Dengler for assistance, who suddenly finds himself confronted with a morass of manipulation.

Suspense and enlightenment – this unique combination is the trade mark of Schorlau´s crime novels featuring the private detective Georg Dengler. In his new novel concerning the wheeling and dealing of the pharmaceutical industry, he brilliantly hits the mark in both fields.

“I researched the pharmaceutical industry for almost two years’, writes Schorlau in his afterword. ”I can’t phrase it in any other way: This industry is driven by an unprecedented criminal energy.”

“Wolfgang Schorlau has written his way to the top of the German political crime novelists.” (Hamburger Abendblatt)
