Who benefits from the death of the retiree Manfred Haase? Certainly not the jazz musician Janosch, who makes his living as a caregiver. Journalist Kirsten Bertram is convinced that he is wrongfully suspected of murder, and she investigates nursing services and the victim's relatives. However, she may not be objective: during an interview, she came closer to the musician than planned.

Since 2001 and nine books, journalist Kirsten Bertram has uncovered criminal cases. This makes her the longest-active fictional investigator in Dresden. Another characteristic: the cases that author Beate Baum invents always have a very real social critique background. In "Erwarteter Todesfall," it’s the nursing shortage and the difficult situation of elderly people who want to shape their twilight years independently. But initially, for Kirsten Bertram, the question is whether the young musician Janosch, with whom she had gotten closer than planned, is a murderer. "Beate Baum has created a kind of alter ego with this character to draw attention to both more and less, and sometimes very catastrophic conditions in society through thrilling crime stories." (MDR Sachsen). "Her observations of the milieu are carefully researched, the character descriptions come with few precise strokes." (Sächsische Zeitung). Beate Baum will come to the CityLibrary Pirna on November 15, 2024, as part of the nationwide reading day, marking her 7th time. At the very beginning, she presented her debut "Dresdner Silberlinge," published in 2001, here. Now it's Kirsten Bertram's 9th case - directly from the Dresden nursing sector.
