Overview
Beissl's dentist, the passionate (big game) hunter Dr. Björn Heckerl, is found dead in the basement of his villa, bound and gagged, by his long-time girlfriend Gabriele. At first glance, nothing seems to be missing from the house, which presents investigators with a major mystery. Gabriele, who runs a restaurant, has a rock-solid alibi. And Heckerl's daughter Michaela can also prove through posts on social media that she was not at home at the time of death. However, an older post by Michaela leads investigators to discover that something is missing from the house: the head of the rhinoceros Jambo, whose horn fetches high prices on the black market. The post is followed by a storm of criticism against the hunter, with forest ranger Helga Lohberger, whose son Sven still lives with her, standing out in particular. Did she want to punish Heckerl for his hunting? Or are international gangs specializing in such burglaries behind it?
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.
