Synopses & Reviews
Life and death are not so black and white at the city morgue in Cologne, Germany. There, Dr. Martin G?nsewein spends his days autopsying dead bodies?and conversing with a ghost named Pascha. They are an odd couple, to be sure: a shy, scrupulous forensic pathologist and a gregarious former car thief whose murder Martin reluctantly helped solve in Morgue Drawer Four. As the second installment of Jutta Profijt's popular series opens, a recently convalesced Martin returns to work anxious for a little peace and quiet and hoping that Pascha has finally gone into the light. Not only is the doctor out of luck, but the morgue soon welcomes Marlene, the spirit of a nun killed in the fire that ravaged her medieval convent and home. Though disappointed that his new sidekick isn?t a leggy blonde, Pascha empathizes with the recently deceased holy sister?and suspects the fire that claimed her life was no accident. The ghosts are determined to uncover the truth, but they can?t do it without Martin's help. Together with Martin's girlfriend Birgit, the trio embarks upon a madcap (and frequently hilarious) adventure that will enchant readers from beginning to end.
