A young real estate agent is violently torn from life. Did he work with the wrong people or is someone from his private environment behind it? At the scene, Chief Prosecutor Reuther, Chief Commissioner Klar and High Commissioner Fischer learn that Marko Odeland collapsed with interested party Tina Haller shortly after a visit to the apartment. For Dr. Engel points out all to poisoning. The investigation shows that Odeland has only recently become self-employed.
Does his former employers Lara and Justus von Pöhlhoff have an idea who sought Odeland for life? And what was the violent argument that Odeland is said to have had recently with his former boss? From Nadine Reinisch, the victim's assistant, Reuther learns of a strange burglary in Odeland's office. Is Odeland's death possibly related to the exclusive marketing right for a stately villa owned by the ambitious broker? Birthe and Marlene Balckow, the disputed nieces of the late owner of the property, puzzles Reuther and the commissioners. The investigation also leads to Susanne Dahms, a victim's client, who appears to have received exceptional support from Odeland in her search for accommodation.
Bernd Reuther's excellent combination skills are once again required to solve this complicated case.
