Original synopsis

Overview

A young woman is found dead in the river. Together with her friend Klarissa, she had been running a hair salon for two years, which was particularly popular with men. Initial suspicion falls on the aggressive ex-boyfriend of the deceased, Arthur Latzka, to whom she owed money. But there is no evidence against him. In the course of his investigations, Jerry comes across an escort service that the two women ran in a romantic hotel. What role did the shady concierge play in the young woman's murder, and who was her last anonymous guest? These questions lead Jerry and Beissl on the trail of the murderer.

About the show

The series revolves around Chief Inspector Benedikt Beissl (Andreas Giebel), who lives in Berchtesgaden with his wife Elisabeth and their three daughters, Maria, Johanna, and Eva. Beissl has been upholding law and order in Berchtesgaden for decades. Much to his annoyance, he is one day assigned a new colleague. Until now, the solitary inspector has preferred to work alone. His new partner, Jerry Paulsen (Peter Marton), is the son of a Black GI and a landlady from Bad Aibling. He is quite daring, a team player, and moved from Hamburg to Bavaria for love. However, Jerry's love interest happens to be Beissl's daughter, Johanna. In each episode, the two police commissioners must solve a murder in the area. The locally rooted Beissl often knows the victims, their environment, and potential perpetrators.
