life and work

Wagner's books are classified in the regional crime genre (see also detective novel ). The Rhine-Hessian hill country, the people there and especially the wine gave Wagner the ideas for his debut Herbstblut (2007), which was followed by four more novels with the same commissioner as investigator by 2012.
