Herzblut

by David Daniel

Privatdetektiv Alexander Herz würde am liebsten jede freie Minute mit seiner neuen Freundin verbringen. Doch eine Dame der feinen Düsseldorfer Gesellschaft hat ihn damit beauftragt, die Machenschaften jenes Mannes aufzudecken, wegen dem Herz selbst vor Jahren ins Gefängnis musste. Bei seinen Recherchen kommt er Kommissar Lohmeier in die Quere, der den grauenhaften Mord an Melanie, einem Teenager aus der düster-sentimentalen Emo-Szene aufzuklären versucht. Merkwürdige Bissspuren am Hals des Opfers lassen laut Gerichtsmediziner nur einen äußerst überraschenden Schluss Ein Vampir tötet in Düsseldorf. Doch Lohmeier sucht lieber nach einem Täter unter den Lebenden.
