{"product_id":"footsteps-at-hinterkaifeck-erik-meyer-9798235787667","title":"Footsteps At Hinterkaifeck","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the spring of 1922, an isolated Bavarian farm became the centre of one of Germany's darkest unsolved crimes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHinterkaifeck stood alone among fields and woods, a remote place where silence carried too far and footsteps in the snow could not easily be explained. In the days before the murders, strange signs unsettled the household. Tracks were found leading from the forest toward the farm, but none appeared to lead away. A key went missing. A lock showed signs of tampering. Sounds were heard in the attic. The former maid had already left, convinced the house was haunted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen, on the night of March 31, 1922, six people were killed at Hinterkaifeck.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat followed made the case even more disturbing. The killer appeared to remain on the farm after the murders, feeding the animals, using the house, and moving through the rooms while the bodies lay undiscovered. When neighbours finally entered the property days later, they found a scene that would haunt rural Germany for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFootsteps at Hinterkaifeck examines the facts, rumours, fears, and unanswered questions surrounding the case. It follows the Gruber-Gabriel family, the strange events that preceded the killings, the investigation that failed to produce a conviction, and the folklore that grew around the ruined farm. This is not a tale of easy answers. It is a careful nonfiction account of murder, isolation, suspicion, and the eerie possibility that the family at Hinterkaifeck knew something was wrong before death arrived at their door.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore than a century later, the case remains unsolved.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe footprints still lead toward the farmhouse. They still do not lead away.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Erik Meyer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798235787667\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Erik Meyer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/08\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.30d","brand":"Erik Meyer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49084225356031,"sku":"9798235787667","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/footsteps-at-hinterkaifeck-erik-meyer-9798235787667","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
