Original synopsis

Overview

Biologist Valerie Lemke dies after a visit to a glacier. Dr. Hartmann quickly determines that she was pushed into the abyss. Jerry and Sophia investigate among her colleagues. Dr. Magda Hansen was a rival for Professor Gruber's affections, while Christian Wenzel was an environmental activist and a jilted lover. Even pharmaceutical manager Oliver Gross falls under suspicion because Lemke's research on blood algae was commercially lucrative.

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.
