^Deutschland – Page 54 Germany. Presse- und Informationsamt – 2001 "In spring 2001. the Augsburg author Georg Klein astonished critics with his detective story Barbar Rosa. For years Klein, born in 1953, had just about managed to make a living as a ghost-writer, while being repeatedly turned down by publishers, that is until young publisher Alexander Fest recognized his great talent."
