Falke and Grosz are entrusted with a delicate task under strict discretion: 17-year-old Juan Mendez has disappeared from a fine boarding school where celebrities and elites from business and politics have their children educated. Juan's father is the ambassador of an authoritarian country. The questionable despot is known for having members of the opposition and journalists arrested and tortured. While Juan's girlfriend Hanna has the worst fears, his best friend August suspects that the boy just wants to avoid the official celebrations of the state visit. Whatever the reason, Juan's disappearance puts the Bergsons, the teachers who run the school, in distress. The good reputation of the school is its most important asset. In the course of the investigations by Falke and Grosz, the boy's bodyguard comes under suspicion, especially when a blackmail letter appears: Juan's kidnappers are trying to free imprisoned opponents of the regime and journalists.

When his 17-year-old son Noah disappears, Jon Makoni turns to the police in desperation, even though it could be dangerous for him and his wife Hope to be targeted by the authorities: even though the Makonis have been living and working in Hanover for years , they have no papers and are therefore effectively non-existent. The investigators Falke and Grosz initially search for a smuggling network in Hanover. An unknown body is found in a truck.

A stranger asks Thorsten Falke to meet him. He hopes, he says, that the commissioner will keep a promise that is more than 20 years old and help him out of an emergency.

It turns out he had been living under a false identity. In order to find out who the man really was, Falke and his colleague Julia Grosz have to delve deep into their own past. And with the man the two ultimately suspect, nothing seems to be as initially assumed.

After the death of his colleague Grosz, Thorsten Falke is taking a break in the remote St. Joseph monastery when the parish pastor dies in a fire.

A knife attacker kills two people in Hanover under the cover of a dense crowd. The nationwide investigation team, including Chief Inspectors Thorsten Falke and Anaïs Schmitz, faces a difficult task: There is no trace of the perpetrator. And there is a danger that he will strike again. To gather possible clues, the decision is made to use the innovative software KROISOS. After a comprehensive data analysis, the program quickly presents a likely perpetrator: the mentally ill René Kowalski. His sister Nora, however, considers it impossible that her brother is the perpetrator. Falke also remains skeptical. Then another crime occurs, almost identical to the first, overturning all certainties...
