action
Till Ritter runs into his old friend Christina, who is now married to the clinic doctor Matthias Lehndorff. They make an appointment to go jogging together and when the knight brings Christina home, he just comes in when a stranger has poisoned the family dog. Christina wants Ritter to investigate the background to this attack. Felix Stark is a little amused that her latest murder victim is a dog, but just as the two inspectors arrive at the Lehndorff's, an explosive device detonates in Christina's car. Fortunately, nobody gets seriously injured. The private contract is now taking on official traits. Ritter and Stark investigate together in the family environment, but cannot find any concrete evidence that someone is trying to kill the Lehndorffs. Most suspicious would be Robert Schreyer, who has to do with Christina Lehndorff professionally and should not be able to talk to her well. Ritter noticed tensions between the Lehndorff couple, but Matthias Lehndorff said that privately everything would be fine.
If another attack occurs, Christina Lehndorff is shot at. She dies, although Ritter and Stark are at home for her protection. The first lead leads again to Robert Schreyer, who denies the act. Lehndorff is not entirely unsuspecting either, as Stark finds out that his wife filed for divorce a day ago. Ritter suspects that he is having a relationship with Schreyer's wife. A divorce would be a financial and social disaster for Lehndorff. When the murder weapon is found on him, he is seriously suspected of murder. He claims that someone must have put the rifle in the trunk of his car. He would not have killed his wife, he would have loved. However, she found out that he had an affair with Margret Schreyer years ago and that they have a son. At home, Lehndorff's daughter Sophie finds a photo of her father with another woman and a child. She runs away and flees to her piano teacher, who gives her regular lessons and who promised to always be there for her.
When the investigators receive the news of Sophie's disappearance and also look for the child with her piano teacher, they find his apartment abandoned. For Stark it seems strange that Clemens Degner, as a very talented musician, only gives piano lessons instead of embarking on a career path. While they are still looking for Degner, Lehndorff also disappears. He is ordered to the cemetery by Degner and knocked down there. Degner ties him up and says that Lehndorff has taken everything he loved and that he now has to pay for it.
Ritter and Stark are looking for a clue where to find Sophie and her father. Weber researched Lehndorff's clinic files and found out that Degner's daughter was treated in the clinic after a traffic accident. After she was released, she died of a blood clot fourteen days later, and her mother died four months later.
Ritter and Stark can find out that Degner's parents own a weekend house, they go there immediately and can overpower Degner and free Sophie and her father.
