Murder-series all over Europe – and the police is watching without taking action!
Sensational summit of thriller-authors from Berlin to Budapest to Palermo at the nights of crime at the café!
Viennese recipe of success for the first time on circular tour through european coffeehouses
Murder-series, assasination, murder out of jealousy, poisoning – and the police is watching inactive! What a scandal? Certainly not, but „business as usual“ at the „night of crime“ at the Viennese cafes, where you can get, this year the third time, thriller action along with your coffee.
For the first „night of crime“ Donna Leon and Qui 22, US-shooting-star of the thriller-scene, came to Vienna. The next year, Magdalena Nabb, british-italian writer and bestseller-author Leonie Swann („Glenkill“) were entertaining our guests in more than 50 Viennese coffeehouses. This year, Veit Heinichen and Petros Markaris are coming to Vienna. And always with us were and will be nearly all austrian thriller-stars like Ernst Hinterberger, Jürgen Benvenuti, Sabina Naber or Edit ...?
This year the recipe of success – writers reading their own stories at the cafe, where the fans can experience a „black night“ by free entrance – will go international and take part in various european cities! A viennese recipe of success like making the famous Viennese coffee will become international, so you can also enjoy Viennese culture of crime and coffee from Prague to Berlin, Leipzig, Hermannstadt to Palermo.
Autoren
Thomas Wollinger

Wenn es so etwas wie eine klassische Autorenkarriere gibt, hat er sie bestimmt nicht gemacht. Weder Ausbildung (Doktorat Informatik) noch berufliche Laufbahn (Projektleiter und IT-Consultant) ließen schriftstellerische Ambitionen erkennen. Sein öffentliches Erscheinen als Autor bezeichnet Thomas Wollinger sogar augenzwinkernd als „Outing“. Er ist Mitglied des grazer autorinnen und autoren kollektivs GRAUKO. 2004 erschien schließlich der Roman „Die Archäologin“. 2006 erhielt Wollinger den Anerkennungspreis des Landes Niederösterreich für Literatur. Heute leitet Wollinger die Wiener Schreibwerkstatt „Texthobel“ und schreibt unaufhaltsam.

If there’s something like a „classical“ carreer for authors, Thomas Wollinger for sure didn’t go this way. Either his studies (computer science, doctorate) nor his professional carreer (IT-consultant, project management) pointed out writing ambitions. His public appearance as an author he himself describes as his „comming out“. He is member of „GRAUKO“, a community of writers located in Graz, Styria. In 2004 he published his first novel „The archaeologist“. 2006 he received the literary-award by the government of Lower Austria/ Austria. Today he’s running the „Wiener Schreibwerkstatt“, a workshop for writing, and he himself is writing inexorably...
