Jan Weiler, KÜHN IS HUNGRY

Piper - Crime Novel - Hardcover - October 2019 - 416 pages

The third case of Commissioner Kühn, after the success of KÜHN HAS A LOT TO DO and KÜHN IS IN TROUBLE.

Commissioner Kühn has the feeling that he gained too much weight. In the soul and around the hip. While he is struggling to lose weight in order to become more interesting to his wife Susanne, he has to defend himself against the intrigues of his supposedly best friend and colleague Thomas Steierer: His career in homicide depends on an ever thinner thread - and he has to deal with a murderer who shows him how deeply you can sink as a human being. With empathy and unique esprit, Jan Weiler tells the story of Martin Kühn, who faces the difficult question of the lightness of life.
