Of course, we are talking about Bernd Stelter, who will open the "Cultural Venue Dillenburg" on September 21, 2026. In the Orangerie of the Hessian State Stud, he will present his current crime novel "The Cold Hand of the Camping Killer" and take the guests on a journey to the Netherlands by the sea, where two teenagers enjoy romantic togetherness on the beach when they suddenly discover a hand of a dead person sticking out of the sand. Inspector Piet van Houvencamp and his assistant from the police in Middelburg start the investigations, and soon campers and amateur detectives are involved – much to the inspector's chagrin… Guests can expect exciting entertainment with the humorous storytelling style for which Stelter has been known for many years.
