Anna Marx is the society columnist of a Bonn newspaper. She is in her mid-40s, successful in her chosen profession, and she is having great fun writing a novel - at least, as long as it doesn’t keep her awake at night.
Anna Marx is not married. Her love life is frequently confusing - partly because she keeps on getting mixed up in criminal cases. Sometimes it’s murder prompted by jealousy, sometimes a mere bagatelle. But she always seems to be one step ahead of the police, because in solving these cases she applies not only her sharp intellect but also her feminine intuition.
