Alex Beer brings Viennese suspense to Hösbach

On Tuesday, October 6, 2026, the Hösbach Library Center will become the venue for an atmospheric encounter with the author: Alex Beer will read from her historical crime novel The Third Grave, the seventh case for Inspector August Emmerich. Set against the backdrop of Vienna's interwar period, political intrigue, and gangster milieu, it unfolds a literary experience for all who want to connect demanding suspense with historical research.

Vienna 1923 as a literary resonance space

Alex Beer takes her audience into a city between misery and hope. Vienna appears as a torn urban cosmos where social tensions, political power, and criminal networks intertwine. At the center is the missing politician and former underworld boss Veit Kolja. When two former smugglers are found murdered, Inspector August Emmerich embarks on a feverish search for connections.

Historical crime novel with linguistic density

The reading combines classic investigation dramaturgy with the atmospheric style of the historical crime novel. Alex Beer does not use the past as a decorative backdrop but as a morally charged space. Her narrative tension arises from the contrast between criminal precision and the shadows of a society struggling for orientation after World War I.

An author of the German crime fiction scene

Alex Beer, who lives in Vienna and publishes historical crime novels under her pseudonym, is known for her series featuring August Emmerich, Isaak Rubinstein, and Felix Blom. For her literary work, she has received several awards, including the Leo Perutz Prize for Crime Literature and the Austrian Crime Prize. Her novels combine meticulous milieu depiction, social discourse, and high narrative tension.

Reading atmosphere at the Library Center

The intimate atmosphere of the Library Center creates the perfect setting for a direct author encounter. Voice, language, and the rhythmic precision of the read passages make the historical world of The Third Grave sensually tangible. Following the reading, Alex Beer's books will be available at the Library Center.
