Catherine Shepherd
Bestselling German author Catherine Shepherd lives with her family in the small town of Zons on the river Rhine. She originally moved to Zons to be near her place of work at a major German bank in Düsseldorf. However, the medieval atmosphere of the town and the advent of self-publishing soon combined to stir the writing spirit that had lain dormant in her for many years.

A series of four crime novels set in Zons, each a mixture of an exciting thriller and a mysterious story from the Middle Ages. The first ("Der Puzzlemörder von Zons") as well as the third ("Kalter Zwilling") and fourth ("Auf den Flügeln der Angst") hit #1 on the German Kindle ch
