A shady lawyer with blood on his hands searches for his inner peace in the hilarious and shocking second installment of the Mindful Murder series.

Björn Diemel has mastered the principles of mindfulness and used them to improve his life. He quit his stressful job and started his own practice. He spends more time with his daughter and argues less—and usually more lovingly—with his wife. Oh, and by the way, he also happens to be running two mafia clans with ease, since he murdered the boss of one and locked the boss of the other in the basement of his daughter’s kindergarten.

So why can’t Björn enjoy any of this? Why does he keep losing his temper? Is he simply tired of killing? No, not quite. His therapist, Joschka Breitner, finally points him in the right direction: It all comes down to Björn’s inner child.

You never stop learning: The mindful murderer Björn Diemel keeps optimizing himself.
