Frutas silvestres como postres
En principio, era una fiesta como muchas otras. El escenario: una lujosa villa en los alrededores de Düsseldof. Muchachas fáciles, automóviles ostentosos, alcohol... La luces permanecieron encendidas hasta muy tarde. La música atronaba los caminos enarenados que llevaban a la autopista. Pero hubo algo más. Alguién llevó LSD, y al día siguiente uno de los alegres invitados aparecía estrangulado. La orgía tuvo un final de pesadilla. En el caso de Düsseldorf estaban comprometidoas algunas de las personalidades mas relevantes de la vida politoca y económica del pais.
Heinz G. Konsalik, con los elementos tradicionales de la novela policiaca hace una crítica despiadada de los hombres del "milagro alemán".

About the author
Heinz G. Konsalik
546 books83 followersHeinz G. Konsalik (pseudonym of Heinz Günther) was a German novelist.
Many of his books deal with war and showed the German human side of things as experienced by their soldiers and families at home, for instance Das geschenkte Gesicht (The Mutilated Face), which deals with a German soldier's recovery after his sledge ran over a personnel mine and destroyed his face, and how this affected his relationship with his wife at home. It places no judgment on the German position in the war and simply deals with human beings in often desperate situations, doing what they were forced to do under German military law.
Der Arzt von Stalingrad (The Doctor of Stalingrad) made him famous and was adapted into a movie in 1958. Some 83 million copies sold of his 155 novels made him the most popular German novelist of the postwar era and many of his novels were translated and sold through book clubs. He is buried in Cologne.
