Elderly Affair

A Joesi Prokopetz Crime Thriller

Death of a Viennese Casanova

The »womanizer« Rainer is found dead in a retirement home. Who killed the commitment-phobe who compulsively seduced women? A satirical crime thriller with Viennese flair.

Rainer Caofal is a self-confessed »womanizer«. As such, he has no qualms about seducing the women of his fellow men, especially his friends. For short-term amusement, of course—because the womanizer avoids real relationships like the devil avoids holy water. But now Rainer is dead. Slain in the back, he says, in a retirement home in Vienna. Did he make one enemy too many in the final few meters? There are plenty of suspects—from the cuckolded husband to the love-struck wife who had hoped for more from her affair with the handsome Rainer. Rainer reviews the episodes of his life as a womanizer from the »off«—in search of his murderer. A deeply Viennese crime thriller from the master of black humor.
