About this audiobook

In the winter of 1988, the remote Canadian village of Northfield is buried beneath snow, silence, and secrets. At the center of town stands a small butcher shop run by Heinz, an Austrian immigrant known for his quiet manners, precise hands, and meat so exceptional that locals line up outside his door even in the freezing cold. Heinz lives a simple life. He keeps to himself, works hard, and asks for nothing from anyone. But one night, on an icy road outside town, a terrible accident forces him into a moment of panic. What begins as a desperate decision to protect himself soon becomes something far darker ― something that changes the fate of the entire village. As winter deepens, strangers begin to disappear. Rumors spread through Northfield, but so does the reputation of Heinz’s shop. Business has never been better. People praise the taste, the freshness, the quality. Nobody wants to ask too many questions. But a determined reporter and a suspicious investigator begin to notice the pattern. Missing persons. Convenient silences. A butcher who always seems calm. A town too hungry to face the truth. I am Heinz, the Butcher is a dark, atmospheric psychological thriller about guilt, survival, obsession, and the terrifying ease with which evil can hide behind an ordinary face.

About the author

Born in 1970, Heinz always wanted to make films. But in the 1980s in Graz (Austria), this wish could not be fulfilled. So he learned a "regular" job as a media salesman. But he did not give up his passion for photography, filming, making music and writing. "Better late than never", he says and now his books have been published!
