Description

Fredrick Holstein was the owner/operator of Holstein's Books before his brother Wilhelm Holstein took over. He is known for his bizarre personality and his many German references. He first appeared in #267: “It Ended with a Handshake” and he met Katrina Shanks, a person who he would encounter many times, as she worked for him. His shop was once robbed by two crooks who kidnapped Jenny Roberts and took a rare book, though that's not what they truly wanted. He has a pudgy grandson named Hans Holstein who broke Katrina's teeth by throwing a football at her unintentionally.
