Kim Hays

KIM HAYS lives in Bern, Switzerland. Sons and Brothers, the second police procedural in her Polizei Bern series, will be published on April 18 by Seventh Street Books. The first in the series, Pesticide, was shortlisted for a CWA Debut Dagger Award. In the words of Laurie R. King,“The second outing of Linder and Donatelli is as crisp and skilled as the first. . . Brisk plot, depth of character, great setting—what’s not to love?” In SONS AND BROTHERS, a respected surgeon in his seventies is attacked and drowned in Bern’s Aare River. The district attorney suspects his estranged son Markus, but Bern police detectives Linder and Donatelli have other ideas about the crime.
