When the body of Pastor Hollein is discovered in the confessional during a church concert, the tranquil episcopal city of Münster has its perfect scandal. This time, the chaotic private detective Georg Wilsberg has to investigate a highly opaque case.

That's just what private detective Georg Wilsberg needed: Alex's father has announced his visit and wants to know what progress his daughter's university career is making. Alex has "briefly interrupted" her law studies and wants to earn a living in another way.

This time it is Inspector Springer herself who needs Wilsberg's help. A young policewoman dies shortly before she was supposed to meet Anna. But that can't have been an accident.
