DI Pia Kirchoff And Detective Superintendent Oliver von Bodenstein have
been called out to a serious motor vehicle accident. It appears that a
woman may have been pushed off an overpass onto a passing vehicle below.
Further crashes occurred as a result. Why would someone want to push
her onto the oncoming traffic? It is quickly determined that the victim
is the mother of Tobias Sartorius who was just released from prison
after spending ten years there for the murder of two girls.
A little earlier a skeleton had been found in a disused tank. DNA
determined that it belonged to one of the two girls. As DI Kirchoff
studies the files on the Sartorius case, she can't help but feel
something is amiss. Will more come to light when she recognises the man
who pushed Sartorius' mother off the bridge, or will the village only
put up more barriers to the investigation?
The inquiry takes a sudden turn when a seventeen year old girl goes
missing in the same village as the previous two had. Is it the same
scenario all over again?
The seventeen year old missing girl, Amelie Frohlich, had indicated to
Tobias that she had been given pictures from when the murder occurred. When a
police officer turned up to get the pictures, her stepmother didn't
raise any questions. However, later when speaking to Kirchoff and
Bodenstein it appears that the police officer wasn't a police officer in
fact.
Author Nele Neuhaus presents several possible suspects as this murder
mystery rapidly picks up its pace. Twists and turns abound with plenty
of surprises. A thoroughly excellent read, which I found hard to put
down. I'm looking forward to the sequels.
