Klarant Verlag has announced the release of two new crime novels set in the East Frisia region of Germany.

Julia Brunjes presents ‘Flutmord auf Langeoog’, a mystery involving the discovery of a body washed ashore near Langeoog during a storm. The investigation, led by Commissars Fenja Bruns and Jonte Visser, focuses on a victim found with hands tied in professional sailor knots.

Alfred Bekker’s new release, ‘Norderneyer Seestück’, follows Commissioner Manno Lewert as he investigates the murder of art dealer Klaas Diekmann on Norderney. The case involves the theft of a seemingly worthless maritime painting and a suspect who was believed to have died fifteen years ago.
