Der Wiesenkreis

A mysterious crop circle has Berchtesgaden on edge. The press is even speculating about extraterrestrial origins. Two unsuspecting visitors to the site are startled when they discover the architect Anton Hölzl lying by the roadside. Beaten to death, as forensic expert Dr. Hartmann determines. Sophia and Jerry quickly realize that Hölzl—who became a conspiracy theorist during the pandemic—had made many enemies. Even his own wife, Anne, had given up hope of a return to a normal relationship four weeks earlier. Hölzl's brother Mathias has his back against the wall at their shared architecture firm; Anton had driven clients away. His children, Benny and Lissy, harbor very different feelings toward their uncle—especially Benny, who deeply admired Anton. By contrast, local politician Laurenz Deubner saw the deceased activist as an obstacle on his path to becoming district administrator.
