Hi, America! You gave us Coke and Chandler, Steely Dan and Silicon Valley. We gave you bavarian beer and BMW, Heidi Klum and Heidelberg. So let’s continue this fair trade. You got still a lot of fine crime fiction never translated into German. We also have some thrilling stuff.…

I'd like to send a warm welcome to everyone. Some old friends here, I guess...some old enemies, too (hi, Ludger!)...and, yes, there is a German crime scene...believe it or not...

bye
