Overview

What Martin Felser fished out of the mailbox is not a sunny holiday greeting to Charlotte Lindholm, but a curious anonymous reference to a planned crime: "Come quickly - otherwise murder" is written on the postcard. A "Forte" energy bar is included, which Charlotte has analyzed in the KTU laboratory to be on the safe side. The result is alarming - the bar is actually poisoned. The public prosecutor responsible refuses to take the anonymous message seriously, but Charlotte's decision is clear: she travels to the sleepy village of Nordersiel on the North Sea, where the card was posted to prevent bad things from happening. But theCommissioner arrives too late: Wolfgang Surdrup, owner of a small excursion boat, is in the hospital with severe symptoms of poisoning, and his death can no longer be prevented. Behind the idyllic facade of the sleepy tourist town, Charlotte Lindholm encounters tragic entanglements. The focus is on the choleric Roland Jellinek, partner of the poisoned Surdrup. Jellinek has been bullying his daughter Sandra and his wife Nynke for years, and he only spoke to his partner Surdrup when it was absolutely necessary. Charlotte knows how to prevent an act of desperation at the last moment, but the solution to the case is only apparently achieved.

About the show

Tatort is a long-running German/Austrian/Swiss crime television series set in various parts of these countries. The show is broadcast on the channels of ARD in Germany, ORF 2 in Austria, and SF1 in Switzerland. The first episode was broadcast on November 29, 1970. The opening sequence for the series has remained the same throughout the decades, which remains highly unusual for any such long-running TV series to date. Each of the regional TV channels that together form ARD, plus ORF and SF, produces its own episodes, starring its own police inspector, some of which, like the discontinued Schimanski, have become cultural icons. The show appears on DasErste and ORF 2 on Sundays at 8:15 p.m. and currently about 30 episodes are made per year. As of March 2013, 865 episodes in total have been produced. Tatort is currently being broadcast in the United States on the MHz Worldview channel under the name Scene of the Crime.
