Military priest Alexander Wessely has done it again: his third crime thriller will be presented on Sunday. This time there were four murders. 

The new book is called "Vitus" and is set in Kleinhöflein. Renovation work on the tower causes the underground charnel house to collapse - revealing the body of a man.

"That wouldn't really be anything unusual in the crypt of a church, but the dead man is dressed in jeans and a hoodie," reveals Alexander Wessely. The detective returns to the scene and begins his investigation. Are secret societies involved? There is a suspicion, but whether it is confirmed - well, the reader will have to find out for themselves! We can also reveal that another real case is incorporated into the story. Namely a dead man who is found crushed under his own car. "In reality, that was an accident. Not in my case," smiles the author. Pastor Sascha Fröhlich also appears on the scene again and there are more murders.

Curious? The presentation will take place on Sunday during the blessing of the church tower in Kleinhöflein. The book is available from the Burgenland military parish.
