What you need to know before your trail
Hindelheim, “a place where nothing ever happens”
The disappearance of a baby girl calls for Constable Theodore Hildebrandt and his son Klaus to visit the remote village of Hindelheim. But the news of the missing baby has brought darkness to the community. It is as if someone or something wicked is playing a game. As the wind blows and the mist thickens, tensions rise amongst the villagers as everyone falls under suspicion. And when the rumours begin and secrets start to unravel, the quiet village of Hindelheim is set to change for ever.
Travel Guide
Hildenheim (fictional)
Hildenheim is a remote village in South West Germany. The police who attend the baby’s disappearance are from nearby Mittelbach
Even before the baby’s disappearance, the small village is evoked as being isolated, remote and claustrophobic at the same time. It is also very oppressive, and this comes across in both the lives of those that live there as well as the weather.
Villages as remote as this felt the effects of the war and had many people taken from them and others returned. But nothing was ever the same again.
