Klaus-Peter Wolf, born in Gelsenkirchen in 1954, lives as a freelance writer in the East Frisian town of Norden, in the same neighborhood as his detective Ann Kathrin Klaasen. Like her, he moved to the coast after long years in the Ruhr, the Westerwald and Cologne, and became an East Frisian by choice. His books and films have won numerous awards. To date, his books have been translated into 26 languages and sold over thirteen million copies.
