Overview

Prof. Karl-Friedrich Boerne is on his way on vacation. But he was still in the testing phase, in full diving gear in the middle of his living room, when Mona Lux's body was found in the "Swan Lake" therapy center. At the bottom of the in-house swimming pool and weighed down with weights. And Andreas Kullmann, who did his laps there like every morning, doesn't want to have noticed the dead woman. Difficult to imagine, finds Inspector Frank Thiel. But "Swan Lake" is a psychiatric facility and Kullmann is autistic. Although the circle of suspects is small, the situation is confusing. As Silke Haller, alias Alberich, imIf the blood of the dead finds a strong narcotic, Boerne of course does without his vacation: How can this case be solved without his help? He meddles arbitrarily as a therapist with the "Swan Lake" patients. But he doesn't find out about the dead person any more than commissioners Thiel and Nadeshda Krusenstern. Mona Lux had no family, no address, and might not even be called Mona Lux. But she was involved with restaurant owner Alberto DiSarto, who is under investigation for serious tax fraud. And Nadeshda Krusenstern can't shake the feeling that she has seen Mona Lux before...

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.
