Police officer and fan of crime fiction and forensic science. Based in Cologne, my professional life is often stranger than fiction. I use crime novels as a way to see how 'the other side' portrays my job, and I’m a harsh critic of unrealistic police procedurals. I love a good 'whodunnit' that challenges my deductive skills. My profile is a mix of my life in uniform, shots of the Cologne Cathedral, and reviews of the latest crime bestsellers. I believe that justice is important, both in the real world and on the page, and I’m always looking for a story that gets it right.
