Revamped City Library Initiative Unveiled

Get ready for an exciting lineup of events at this year's Crime Festival in Gießen! From intriguing true-crime novels to captivating political thrillers, there's something for everyone.

On November 6th, the city library will host Tess Wiley, a singer-songwriter with a unique style that blends singer-songwriter, folk, pop, and country genres. Wiley, who lived in Gießen, will perform as part of the 'Library's Stage' event series. Although the specific author for this event is not explicitly mentioned in the provided search results, we can't wait to find out who will join Tess Wiley on stage.

On the same day, the city council chamber will play host to 'The Magician' by Magdalena Parys. This political thriller, translated by Lothar Quinckenstein, won the European Union Literature Prize in 2015. Commissioner Kowalski's investigation in the novel leads him to a dark labyrinth of the past, involving a secret service operation responsible for the disappearance of opposition figures in Bulgaria.

For those who love crime novels, mark your calendars for October 24. The city library will celebrate 'Day of Libraries' and welcome Sacha Gutzeit with the second book of the children's crime series 'The City-Country-Flow Detectives - The Night of the Phantom.'

But if true-crime stories are more your thing, then November 20th is the date for you. The city library will host Erwin Müller and his true-crime novel 'Death Transit - The Murder Case of Stippbach Valley'. This novel is based on a real, unsolved criminal case from 1981, involving a brutally murdered body found in Stippbach Valley near Sinn.

Don't miss out on these thrilling events! Tickets for all events can be purchased from September 14th via the Crime Festival's website in Gießen. We can't wait to see you there!
