When the body of sixty-year-old Fanny is found in a swimming pond in Lower Austria’s Waldviertel region, it is not immediately clear, if it was a murder. Chief inspector Paul Werner and the young police officer Martin take up the investigation, whereby the latter has no idea how closely the case is linked with his girlfriend’s disappearance twelve years earlier. In his crime thriller, Götz Spielmann skillfully overlaps past and present and dissects the abysses of the human psyche.
