Murder with Mindfulness

A crime comedy based on Karsten Dusse’s bestseller *

* (The Other Side of the Law). Stressed-out criminal defense attorney Björn Diemel, at his wife’s urging, sets out to improve his work-life balance and attends a mindfulness seminar led by therapist Joschka Breitner. What initially seems like a tedious obligation ends up fundamentally changing his life: Björn takes the principles he learns surprisingly seriously and realizes that they can be used to resolve not only personal conflicts but also professional problems with astonishing consistency. Above all, his client, mafia boss Dragan, puts his newfound composure to a severe test. To finally have more time for his family, Björn begins to apply the principles of mindfulness with deadly precision. The result is a story—as macabre as it is murderously entertaining—about self-improvement, inner peace, and the question of how far one can go to achieve a balanced life. Karsten Duss’s bestseller blends crime fiction, self-help, and pitch-black humor. The novel topped the bestseller list and was later adapted into a successful Netflix series starring Tom Schilling.
