Von Fock

When Paul von Fock, the youngest of three brothers, inherits Sagadi Manor, he struggles to fit into his new role socially — but his brilliance at managing his estate and his keen sense of justice quickly secure him the position of assessor at the local court.

Expecting to only solve pub brawls and border disputes, he is wholly unprepared for what awaits him — murder mysteries, fake identities, stolen paintings and cash, lost fortunes and shattered futures.

Realising that not only is his appointment at stake, but also his reputation and sometimes his life, he admirably rises to the occasion and, with the help and intervention of the notorious femme fatale Maria von Nottbeck, begins his transformation into a seasoned detective.

The greatest mystery, however, is Maria herself — but somewhere along the line, she allows Fock to unravel it.
