Death to management

It's mid summer in Vienna. Nothing but sun, heat and sweat. To cool off, Chief Inspector Robert Nemecek and his colleagues Nina Obermayr and Lilly Zukic are assigned unsolved cold cases. But these old cases are forgotten when a woman suddenly turns up at the police station with a loud suspicion of murder: Her husband had not fallen victim to an accident, but had been murdered.

This suspicion sets in motion a heated voyage of discovery that leads Nemecek & Co not only across Austria, but also into an international company that is currently engaged in a far-reaching process of change.

As with their last case at the Kanban crime scene, the investigations at the microelectronics specialist Acros also lead right into the topics of agility, change and management. But as soon as the first suspicions are clarified, the murderous dynamics really start to escalate.

• Is this really about corporate history?

• What role do various legacy issues play in agile change?

• And why are managers always at the center of the deadly events?

A new business thriller for all those who move in the agile field or want to discover it in an exciting way.

With an epilogue on agile management in practice, two detailed glossaries on the most important people and technical terms, further literature and music tips and even some culinary recommendations -- after all, numerous test readers swear that reading a crime novel can be made even more enjoyable with a fine pancake soup, a crispy Wiener schnitzel or a slice of Sacher Torte!
