At the End of the Hallway (39/49)

A complicated case involving two very different murders pushes a 20-year long partnership to the brink.

For everyone there comes a time when they are on their own. Lisa Brenner knew this. When her body was found one grey morning in front of the high-rise building, from whose 12th story she had fallen, she was quite alone, having left behind a string of men who had worshipped and adored her. Lisa was so close and devoted to them all that in the end no-one knew how she really felt about any of them. The number of suspects grows quickly. It is clear that Lisa was not drinking champagne on her balcony alone. And yet none of the neighbors heard a scream. The police find large cash deposits to Lisa's account, but no employer. The evidence first leads to Harry Riedeck, an older man with Helper's Syndrome, who who seems to know a lot about Lisa's personal finances. With the help of his new assistant Kalli Hammermann, Batic also interviews the other men in Lisa's life: Hansen, a former Hamburg hockey star and Lischke, a bank employee and respectable family man. Leitmayr becomes increasingly obsessed with the case. Two days later, Riedeck's savagely murdered body is found in the cellar of his house. Unlike Lisa, whose death was silent and almost invisible, Riedeck was killed by forty hammer blows. What is the connection between the victims, were they even killed by the same person? And how does anyone come to such a brutal end? A complicated case that shakes the trust between Leitmayr and Batic to its foundations.
