action

The chief inspector Hans Sperling is investigating the kidnapping of the siblings Simone and Julian Caspari. The kidnappers demand a ransom of nine million euros for the parents , which the child's father Jens is also willing to pay. The case reminds Sperling of one of his earlier cases, in which 13-year-old Marcel Wittfoht was kidnapped and a high ransom demand was also made, which never had to be met. Marcel was unharmed at the time, and the case came to the local archives.
