Wolfram Anschütz

A Prussian commander disobeys orders and goes to find a British envoy who can negotiate a pact with Austria to help fight off Napoleon in 1806.

The daughter of a wealthy art dealer is blackmailed, and then his former wife is found dead in a Paris hotel.One of the four suspects turns out to be actually a police detective.

An unknown guest checks into an obscure hotel. He is a burly but well-dressed gentleman carrying an umbrella and a tree frog in a glass. This man spends most of his time wandering the hallways and staircases of the inn, ostensibly to hunt for flies to feed his pet. But quite obviously, there is more to it than that: the man also listens at doors and peeks through their keyholes.
