Tote Träume

Opis

Dark clouds hang over a tennis club near the Watzmann. Julia Feller, the newly elected chairwoman and an exceptional coach, lies motionless on the court. Cause of death: heart attack, according to Dr. Hartmann. However, an abnormally high level of adrenaline is found in her body, which—given her rare medical condition—led directly to her death. It soon becomes clear that the victim was poisoned. Motives are plentiful. Julia's deputy, Simone Herzig, was jealous of her popularity and aware of her medical condition. Simone's son Kilian belonged to an elite training group set to be scouted internationally in Mallorca in just a few weeks. This group also included Valentina de Luca, daughter of Ernesto—Jerry and Johanna's favorite Italian restaurateur, who runs the restaurant on the club grounds. Ernesto, however, has little faith in his daughter's tennis ambitions—unlike her brother Francesco. The third talent, Lena Jackstedt, had every reason to be furious with Julia: her father, a sponsor of the tennis club, had recently left Lena's mother for Julia Feller. Then an email with explosive content surfaces, which the victim had received shortly before her death. When forensics also find Kilian's fingerprints on the murder weapon, the case seems solved. But in this instance, nothing is as it first appears… Meanwhile, Beissl is training Sophia's son Luis in the garden at home. The boy feels sidelined at his football club—good thing Beissl is a top-notch motivator.
