(Text)
Clear as the night sky over the Rimrock's, the story of sixteen year-old Bradley Fletcher unfolds like a dark blanket hiding his past and his future. Bradley leaves a sleepy Texas town to see his grandmother Lilly in Memphis, Tennessee. Not knowing what to expect when he gets there, he finds himself in a crime story that happened long before he was born. Nobody and nothing will stop Bradley in his quest to find the brutal truth of what really happened when a young and beautiful white girl fell in love with a black blues musician in a time when black and White was not a matter of color... but oflife or death.

In the late 1960's and early 1970's he crisscrossed America from Alaska to Guatemala. At his side was his trusted companion, a half Wolf called Dusty, and his girlfriend Paula. His road story "Heul doch den Mond an" - Howl at the Moon for young adults is considered as one of the finest books written on this subject, and is a Classic in European Literature. First released in 1982 by Bertelsmann/Random House, it is still in print and a bestseller for Kyrene-Literaturverlag. Egli has written more than sixty novels.
