Bernhard Aichner is not only a leading figure in Austrian book exports, but also a guaranteed name on bestseller lists. His thrillers regularly top the book charts. His success speaks in superlatives: over one million books sold, sold-out readings, international editions in 16 countries, and Totenfrau streaming worldwide on Netflix in two seasons.

With over a million copies sold, Aichner ranks among the most successful German-language crime authors. He has received numerous awards and scholarships, including the Crime Cologne Award, the Friedrich Glauser Prize, and most recently the Fine Crime Award 2023. The Times describes his work as “original, powerful, and gripping.”

Creepy and funny – murderous and entertaining
