Omicidio sull’Hindenburg
by Altieri, Fabrizio
May 1937. During the the airship Hindenburg’s last flight to the USA, Abraham Kaufmann, a wealthy German jewellery dealer, is murdered. There are several suspects: Sieglinde Schwarz, the ex-girlfriend abandoned at the altar; Marlene Streller, an ambitious and ruthless young social climber; Verno Stratenberg, Kaufmann’s competitor jeweller; Arno Schreiber, a Nazi representative and SS captain; and Franz Genoveffi, Kaufmann’s business partner.
Astrid and Olmo, two children sent by their families to the United States to visit relatives, begin investigating alongside the brilliant journalist Cassandra Eastwood, but uncovering the truth may prove very dangerous. Will they manage to save themselves?
Murder on the Hindenburg is a historical murder mystery with a classic structure, very similar to Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express. It is completely set on the airship Hindenburg, that truly flew from Europe to the US in May 1937.
