Die Toten von Salzburg

The body of the German-Chinese tour guide Kang Lien is washed up in a suitcase in the beautifully glittering Salzach. She was the lover of Konstantin Mandl, the useless son of Salzburg's largest bus tour entrepreneur. Once again, cross-border conditions are bringing up the two antipodes Major Palfinger and Chief Criminal Commissioner Mur. Against the background of the „ Overtourism " that is on everyone's lips Investigators this time pretty much in the Bredouille. After all, a murder in the tourism industry is a major problem for the region's main economic artery. But again this time the Bavarian Commissioner Mur is working together on the case with his brute warmth and the sensitive, ingenious Major Palfinger. And by the way, you have to protect colleague Russmeyer – from far-reaching consequences in a dramatic final –.

Leonie, a young girl from Bavaria, has disappeared. The photo of a blood-smeared marble table that was leaked to the parents fears bad things. Did the student at a Salzburg elite high school fall victim to a violent crime? Again, a case forcefully leads the Bavarian chief commissioner Mur to the Salzburg department for blood and violence offenses to Major Palfinger and Irene Russmeyer. It soon turns out, that it appears to be a kidnapping case. The daughter of a Bavarian „ beer emperor " could still live. A temporary game begins for the investigators. The highly dramatic hunt on the kidnapper also leads to Leonie's internship in a dedicated resocialization project for young „ outlaws " in the Hellbrunner Zoo.
The tightly run elite high school supports this project financially and is allowed to assign students who are interested in social work to the zoo project. It is bubbling properly in the explosive field of tension between stumbled losers and spoiled offspring. Ultimately, however, the seemingly contradictory worlds have a common longing: Because passion is not the key to clarifying this very special case

The Salzburg Capuchin monastery has opened up to the world: self-finding seminars are intended to bring secular finances into the monastery walls and an archaeological excavation is to uncover the final resting place of a legendary Bavarian Duchess with valuable additions. But instead of a treasure, the skeleton of a British pilot who crashed in World War II appears. The injury to the skull is a bullet hole – it was executed. And then the body of Brother Gereon is discovered in the excavation section the next day. The young, dogmatic monk had spoken out against an excavation in the monastery. Since Palfinger is the main investigator on a cure, it is up to District Inspector Irene Russmeyer, her Bavarian colleague Hubert Mur and Hofrat Seywald to investigate past war crimes and the murder of Brother Gereon.
