At the scene of the crime, Ott is greeted frostily by her new colleague Isabelle Grandjean - the French policewoman is certain that the inexperienced Ott only got the job thanks to vitamin B. Because the young colleague comes from a long-established Zurich family and seems to know everyone. Reluctantly, Grandjean includes the profiler in the investigation. But she soon notices that Ott has little practical experience, but makes up for this with persistence and analytical mind. And as different as the two women are, they complement each other ideally in the murder investigation. They are highly complex. So it seems almost impossible to find out the identity of the corpse. Their Buddhist back tattoo and the little psychotherapy card in their pocket take the investigators one step further and lead them back to the turbulent Zurich of the 1980s. In the time of the opera house riots, when there were hard fronts between the police and the youth movement. And what happened 40 years ago has now had murderous consequences. The crowd of suspects consists almost exclusively of exponents of the movement who are now of retirement age. Including a committed punk musician, a cold-blooded journalist, a loner who never got over the tragic events of the past. A drug addict friend of Teresa Ott also joins the crowd of suspects and makes one thing clear above all: Zurich may be the largest city in Switzerland, but it is also a village. Grandjean and Ott meticulously put their investigative puzzle together to get a more precise picture. But when gruesome courier mail arrives at the farewell drink for the departing police commander, the case is catapulted into a new dimension. And instead of one, the police officers are suddenly confronted with several murder victims.See less
