action

In their second joint case in the Bavarian-Austrian border area, Major Peter Palfinger and Chief Detective Hubert Mur from Traunstein investigate a double murder in a Salzburg hospital. One of the murder victims is the driver of a German politician, State Secretary Hofstätter, who was seriously injured in a car accident and who was killed in the accident. The second victim is the second patient in the intensive care room , the fallen mountain cleaner Albrecht Edlinger, Annemarie Edlinger's husband. He may have seen the perpetrator and therefore died as well.

There are no skid marks at the scene of the accident, Chief Detective Mur suspects that the car accident was an attack on the State Secretary, he assumes that he was involved in arms exports as the motive . The images from the surveillance camera from the hospital lead her to Carolin Landsbergis. The State Secretary's mother, Rosalinde Hofstätter, tells Mur that Landsbergis picked up her son's computer and work phone. They learn from an employee of the Federal Intelligence Service who is observing them during the investigation that Landsbergis was the State Secretary's spin doctor . Landsbergis gives the investigators the Hofstätter computer, which contains documents on the weapons deals. However, it emerges from these that Hofstätter and Landsbergis did not want to handle the deals, but wanted to prevent them. Otherwise Landsbergis is not very cooperative. The accident vehicle is scrapped by order of the Bavarian State Chancellery , so that no further investigations are possible.

From Dr. Angela Doll, the doctor from the hospital, receives Palfinger's medical files for the two dead. The electrocardiogram shows that the mountain cleaner Edlinger, the second dead person, had an increase in pulse, always at 5:00 p.m. From his pregnant wife Annemarie, Palfinger learns that Edlinger was always visited by his brother Konrad at this time. Even at the time of the crime, Edlinger's pulse rises and a little later that of the State Secretary's driver. By this time, Landsbergis, suspected by Mur, had already left the hospital. Palfinger therefore suspects that this visit was to Edlinger and that the driver was an involuntary witness to the murder of the mountain cleaner.

Palfinger confronts Konrad Edlinger, who is working on the Mönchsberg rock face, with his theory that he deliberately caused his brother to crash because Konrad and Annemarie Edlinger had a love affair and Annemarie von Konrad was pregnant. After he survived the crash, Konrad killed his brother and then the driver, who happened to witness the murder, in the hospital. At the time of the crime, he could not be seen on the hospital surveillance videos because he had come into the hospital room through the ventilation shaft and then left it again. After his confession, Konrad Edlinger releases his climbing protection and plunges down from the Mönchsberg.

reception

Volker Bergmeister from tittelbach.tv wrote: “A bit of a conspiracy thriller, a bit of family tragedy, German-Austrian rivalries, a well-known pattern of two scrambling inspectors. The typical Ösi-Schmäh is missing, this is not fish, not meat, but it will probably find its audience. Because crime always works. "

Hans Czerny found in the Weser Kurier that the figures would meet each other so roughly, as if they were waddling men from old Vienna Prater times . The fratricidal war, which everything then boils down to in a kind of parallel construction, seems not a little drawn out. Palfinger and Mur would research each other very persistently. While snooping in Salzburg's alleys, they would also take the most beautiful places and meeting points with them, from the Café Bazar to the Peterskeller. "Every now and then, the Salzburg silhouette greets you, as is now common in tourist-themed regional crime novels."

In Germany, 6.13 million people saw the film when it was first broadcast on ZDF , with a market share of 19.6 percent.
