"This book is a great read for everyone who ever imagined how to solve a crime when you're not a detective or police officer. Logical analysis, intelligence an dimprovision is all that is needed"

A peek inside the book:
    That afternoon I had a long and honest discussion with Herr Hellendorf, which started with his request to call him Klaus. We dropped the ‘Sie’ and addressed each other as ‘du’ now. He had sent the pills that he had been so keen to lay his hands on to an external laboratory for analysis, and expected the result within a few days. My help with providing him a sample of the corrupt pills had removed his reservations towards me.

    He admitted openly that he hadn’t sent the pills to his own Quality Control Department, which would have produced faster results, because he couldn’t be sure their result would be ‘accurate’. That’s how he put it. So now he was suspicious of his own people, and he didn't hesitate on sharing that suspicion with me. Not only that, he risked his reputation by sending the medicines to an external laboratory. I interpreted this to mean that he wanted to get to the bottom of this, and I had decided to trust him as well, for the moment at least. Now we were discussing what to do next.
