Der schwarze Meilenstein (Kriminalroman)

The narrative unfolds with a tense exchange between two men near a seemingly ordinary milestone marked 39.5. One man expresses his frustration over a mysterious situation that has cost him seven nights of unrest, lamenting the lack of action for the past two months. His irritation hints at a deeper story involving bizarre occurrences and the unpredictable behavior of those who traverse the roads. Louis Weinert-Wilton, a Sudeten German writer, is noted for his contributions to crime fiction, which later inspired a film series in the 1960s.
