Reading by Jan Costin Wagner

A special guest at the Literaturpflaster is Jan Costin Wagner, a German author whose novels deal with the chief inspector Kimmo Joentaa living in the Finnish town Turku.

His latest detective story "Days of the Last Snow" is characterized by Jan Costin Wagner´s impressive narrative art when he involves the reader in several storylines that seem to be unrelated. This novel turns out to be very complex as it combines different story lines: about an architect who loses his daughter in a traffic accident, about two dead men on a bench, about a pupil planning to run amok and about the double life of an investment banker. There's a real fan base eagerly awaiting the author's latest novels. So much is revealed: After having finished this book you will definitely want to read the next one.

Besides his reading from the book "Days of the Last Snow" Jan Costin Wagner will give some music acts that perfectly fit the atmosphere of his story.

This event run by the Literaturpflaster you should not miss.
