action
Prosecutor Mehlhorn is killed in front of Bella Block when his car explodes. In search of the perpetrator, Commissioner Schnaak and Bella find themselves in the midst of corruption and abuse of office in the Hamburg judiciary and a municipal housing association. They suspect that Mehlhorn died because he was on the trail of these machinations. Its documents focus on the municipal building director Kling and his sister Bianca, a family judge, the notorious real estate lawyer Maaslich and Mehlhorn's superior, Attorney General Beerholt.
Maaslich hires Raven Morlock, the gruesome head of a gang of children, to stop Bella Block from investigating. Bella Block's former partner Simon Abendroth comes back from his world tour and visits her. Even he can't talk her out of the investigation.
Morlock tries to kill Bella Block and make it look like suicide. But since she was discovered in time, she was placed in the psychiatric ward, from which Morlock freed her. When Jan Martensen, who came from the province to support Bella Block, is detained by Morlock in an old factory hall, a showdown takes place in which Morlock is shot dead in self-defense by Bella Block.

David Denk, on the other hand, judged in the Süddeutsche Zeitung that Am Abgrund offers an "overloaded, confused case that does not do justice to the crime story or its departing heroine."
