Hallein and crime fiction

Crime thriller experiences with Manfred Baumann

An extraordinary tour awaits you. Bestselling crime writer Manfred Baumann is from Hallein, and he is proud of it: ‘What fascinates me so much about this town is also reflected in my crime novels: the fusion of the past and the present. Astonishing details and views. Encounters with the mysterious. Surprising twists and turns.’ The author lets us experience all this on this tour through the old town.

Manfred Baumann provides insights into the invention of stories and also reads from his crime novels. From the Salzburg crime novels featuring Inspector Merana (also adapted for TV – filmed by ORF and ZDF), from the herb crime novels, and from new texts. ‘And in some places in Hallein, the connection to crime can be discovered quite directly. We will also track that down together.’
