Nope, not Germany, though I did once live in Göttingen, and it is a beautiful town that is in fact near the Harz mountains, does have a university AND a pedestrian mall, so you weren’t wrong in your guess, but that’s not where my next book is set. You’ll have to guess again!
A book that DOES cross into Germany is Some Kind of Magic with a trek across Europe on a musician’s tour bus.
