- Alleinstehende Frau, Polizeibeamter, Mord, Murder
Kurt Janisch is an ambitious, but frustrated country policeman. But a country policeman gets talking to a lot of people in the line of duty - particularly women. Matters go from bad to worse: for Kurt Janisch, for the women who fall for him. Someone sees too much, knows too much. Soon there's a body in a lake and a murderer to be caught.

Elfriede Jelinek (German: [ɛlˈfʁiːdə ˈjɛlinɛk]; born 20 October 1946) is an Austrian playwright and novelist. She is one of the most decorated authors writing in German today and was awarded the 2004 Nobel Prize in Literature for her "musical flow of voices and counter-voices in novels and plays that, with extraordinary linguistic zeal, reveal the absurdity of society's clichés and their subjugating power". Next to Peter Handke and Botho Strauss she is considered to be the most important living playwright of the German language. [source](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elfriede_Jelinek)
