Spannung in der Zeit des Kalten Kriegs / DDR-Thriller / Archäologie-Krimis
The further we get in the writing process of GREEN MAMBA, the more sticky notes crowd on our timeline; they mark places that require deeper discussion and additions that only become apparent during writing, as well as important plot link-ups that mustn’t be forgotten later on.
It’s easy to see that the chronology here is even more tightly packed than INFORMIUM’s, which is not helping matters…

For the upcoming Hauptmann Keller-novel, GREEN MAMBA, it became necessary to do some rather… extraordinary research. Extraordinary for where we live, anyway. US readers will probably find this far less strange than European, and especially German, ones. Nonetheless, never having handled a gun in my (Dana’s) life, this was certainly a highly educational experience.
In view of the extraordinary praise INFORMIUM received from the editorial staff at neobooks.com it was time for updating the covers of the American as well as the German edition. Click for high-resolution images.
neobooks.com asked us for an interview, which we were more than happy to give. The result is an in-depth view into our writing techniques. There will soon be an English translation here, as well, but maybe you’d like to check out the original here:
Neobooks.com is organizing a book discussion/reading circle of the German edition of INFORMIUM on lovelybooks.de.
You can register until next Sunday, and participants can win one of ten free copies of INFORMIUM.
So, if you are also a German speaker, maybe you’d like to join us?!
The German edition of INFORMIUM has been elected as their Crime Fiction Recommend of May by the editors of Germany’s biggest ebook self-publishing house, neobooks.com
INFORMIUM is available on amazon.
In the middle of the Egyptian desert, an excavation crew headed by Peter Conrad hits upon a huge burial ground. The archaeologists quickly notice that things don’t fit together. The mummies they find cannot be dated and show signs of severe congenital diseases. And the religious inscriptions littering the site are equally mysterious. As Egyptologist Lisa Franks discovers clues that the Nazis carried out top-secret excavations here back in the day, a member of the team is found stabbed to death.
At the same time, East Berlin is shocked by a series of murders, that brings Volkspolizei-Hauptmann Josef Keller face to face with a conspiracy that goes back to the days of the Third Reich, and seems to be connected to the events in Egypt.
After a raid on the excavation house, Peter and Lisa manage to flee from Egypt. But that is only the beginning of a deadly hunt for a secret society in the divided city of Berlin.
