Die Eifelräuber

A young man sits in a dungeon waiting to be executed. It is Reinhard who, along with his brother, joined one of the robber gangs that made the Eifel unsafe around 1800. From now on, notorious guys like “der Fetzer” and Carl Heckmann are their belligerent companions. Ever since they were instigated to rob a church by a shady stranger, the devil himself seems to have a hand in their robberies.
When a little girl dies in a fire during an attack, Reinhard feels haunted by her spirit of revenge. He sees the danger of betrayal too late - can he save his brother and himself from the guillotine with his confession of his life?
The author Maik Schurkus creates an exciting, detailed story about the robbers in the Eifel around 1800. From Aachen to Cologne, he incorporates actual locations and trial files from the time into the story.
