Sincere people are much more valuable than hypocrites, no matter how talented they may be. Charles Spurgeon
More by chance than anything else, Martin Kuhlmann, chief detective at the Hamburg LKA, learns of the disappearance of an infant from a baby hatch. He quickly discovers that there have already been similar cases. Although this is not his area of responsibility, he and his colleagues begin to investigate. The first small step they take is when a witness is found completely burnt to death in a solarium.
In addition to the usual work, they have to conduct new investigations into organised crime, the murders of Jo Sehler, Oleg Sokolow, as the trial takes a completely unforeseen turn.
