Oker Stories

The Oker, a small river in the middle of Germany. Lush greenery, ducks, anglers and paddlers. An idyll for excursionists and romantics, you might think. But the peace is deceptive, for the breath of death blows across the riverbed: far from the villages, the horse ripper commits his next murder and upstream, a manic man-killer prowls. In Braunschweig, a psychotic stalker desires his victim to the death and in the Oker reservoir a woman finds a terrible lump of meat. Thrilling and full of surprises, Hardy Crueger proves himself a master storyteller in the premium class of fiction – the short story. »Nothing would be more annoying than missing the conclusion of this story.« Norddeutscher Rundfunk
