Friedrich Gerhard Klimmek

Friedrich Gerhard Klimmek , FG Klimmek for short (born March 3, 1949 in Wanne-Eickel , since 1975 in Herne ) is a German lawyer and crime novelist .

Live and act

From 1959 to 1967 he attended the new language and mathematical and natural science boys' grammar school in Eickel. After graduating from high school, FG Klimmek studied law . He completed the university part of this course in 1974 with the first state examination in law, followed by the second state examination after his legal clerkship , making Klimmek a fully qualified lawyer . Since his admission in 1977, he has been running his own law firm in his hometown.

From his youth he was interested in crime novels ; his favorite author at the time was Arthur Conan Doyle . Since then he has been a profound expert on the Sherlock Holmes stories, although he prefers authors such as Raymond Chandler , Dashiell Hammett and their successors . He himself made his literary debut in 2003 with the detective novel Wie dieiegen , which was published by KBV-Verlag in Hillesheim . Altogether Klimmek wrote two historical novels and nine detective novels, some also in the form of Amazon Kindle and as audio books with speakers such as Ingo Naujoks and Kurt Glockzin . His crime series about the weird investigator Schmidt and his unusual historical crime stories have earned him a large number of fans. The short stories have been published in various anthologies . In 2013 and 2015 there were also the satires published under the pseudonym “Jean-Christophe Mürlenbach” on Kindle, in which Klimmek satirized the multiple dilettantisms of the regional crime wave .
