Original synopsis

Overview

Doris Renz, divorce lawyer and soloist in a well-known amateur choir, is found murdered. It quickly becomes clear that the victim was rather unpopular in the choir, and Jerry even suspects bullying. The choir member Nina Golling in particular had a bone to pick with the deceased, who had been the choir's soloist for years. Did she eliminate her rival? But other choir members also had a motive to kill the woman. Were they driven to commit the crime by the agitation? It is thanks in no small part to Johanna that the detectives' attention is drawn to a new lead, which ultimately leads to the solution of the case.

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.
