Seven years after “Zerteiltes Leid”, David Wonschewski’s third novel “Blaues Blut” has been published by Periplaneta. In this complex work, the author devotes himself to the person Frankenfelder, who has been monitored by the secret service agent Krebs for 20 years. IM Krebs looks back on several events in the life of his case: on Frankenfelder as a rebellious high school graduate, on the time in which Frankenfelder gradually isolated himself in his apartment, on his great love and on the attempt to integrate into bourgeois society.
One day Frankenfelder is finally gone. And suddenly it’s Krebs who feels he’s being watched, and he’s overcome by a fear that Frankenfelder isn’t dead at all, but could have simply turned the game around…
“Blaues Blut” defies genre classification. The novel is a detective story, psychogram, thriller, diary or social study. The book has additional digital content integrated as QR codes. In addition to passages read by the author, the work includes a soundtrack by singer-songwriter Christoph Theussl, who contributed a song to each chapter.
The publisher has a matching “Blue Blood” postcard set on offer for the book, six postcards with various quotes from the novel.
