Overview
Georg Reitinger, a journalist at the Berchtesgadener Anzeiger newspaper, is found dead under a bridge. Beissl and Jerry learn from Sissi Fischer, an intern at the newspaper, that Reitinger had recently been receiving anonymous calls and threats. Could his death be related to his work as a journalist? Johanna is particularly keen to solve this case. Reitinger was her colleague. She secretly begins to investigate herself. The detectives discover that Reitinger had recently uncovered an environmental scandal in the Auerbach Au. But the ongoing investigation proves difficult. All the suspects seem to have alibis. Only when it turns out that Reitinger had been writing restaurant reviews on a local blog do Beissl and Jerry make progress in this tricky case. An unfinished review by Reitinger leads them to the restaurant "Nouvelle Cuisine," among other places, where things are not quite right...
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.
