From police detective to crime author

German crime writer Andreas Schnurbusch knows only too well that crime novels usually have very little to do with the reality of police work. After starting out as a police officer in Cologne, he studied criminology and joined the criminal investigation department. There he worked, among other things, in the areas of murder, drugs and human trafficking. At the end of his term of service, Schnurbusch began writing his crime novels and it was particularly important to him that they relfect as much as possible to the reality of real police work.
