Ostfrieslandkrimis

Norddeich is a truly peaceful vacation spot on the North Sea coast – until a series of murders shakes the small town. For Commissioner Ann Kathrin Klaasen, who is currently in a deep life crisis, this case becomes a test that completely overturns her previous idea of good and evil. Ulf Speicher lies with a hole in his forehead in his kitchen – shot with a historical weapon. Kai Uphoff is next. His body is found between the sheep grazing peacefully on the dike. The two victims, who were killed with extreme brutality and precision, lead Commissioner Ann Kathrin Klaasen and her colleagues Weller and Rupert to the Rainbow Association, which is not only cares for disabled people, but also manages their sometimes considerable assets.
The nerves of the employees are bright. What did their boss, Ulf Speicher, and Kai, who spent his voluntary social year with them, do that they had to die? Who will believe next? Then a young boy on the way to the beach also finds the deputy head of the association – cruelly murdered. A number of investigative steps further and only when it is almost too late does Ann Kathrin suspect the full extent of unprecedented manipulation, whose fatal consequences have already cost three lives and are now directed against the next victims with devastating anger.

A stranger places Commissioner Ann Kathrin Klaasen a female body on the floor mat of her East Frisian family home. And she doesn't remain the only victim. The dead are an old woman who the perpetrator miserably condemned. The psychopathic killer pulls the commissioner ever deeper into his perfidious game, the rules of which she does not even know. Ann Kathrin Klaasen's team works feverishly. What is the connection between the victims? Why did they have to die and why are the victims all retired? Then Ann Kathrin's ex-husband Hero bursts in the middle of a crisis session. His new lover has not returned from jogging. Ann Kathrin has neither the time nor the desire to look around the escaped bedding to take care of her ex. But when she sees his despair, she agrees to help.
On the dike they meet a witness who not only wants to see the missing jogger the day before, but also a man in the park who has obviously followed her. When Ann Kathrin Klaasen realizes that her entire house is bugged with webcams and microphones, she feels an ominous premonition. The Commissioner is determined to come to one of the webcams because she hopes to get in touch with the killer in this way. It offers itself in exchange for the hostage. A serious mistake: even Ann Kathrin Klassen could not have foreseen that evil was already so close. 

A mummified body is accidentally found in a basement on Norderney. It quickly becomes clear that a serial killer repeatedly walled in young women. He miserably thirsty her in her dungeon. The „ Soko Maurer " has been determining for years. How many walled people are still waiting for them, and what is the perpetrator's motive? The head of the Soko, Wolfgang Huberkran, heard from main commissioner Ann-Kathrin Klaasen in East Frisia, who has managed to put two serial killers at work with completely unorthodox methods. He relies on her excellent feeling, a great honor for Kripochef Ubbo Heide. But when a young woman disappears from Leer without a trace and a gynecologist violently kidnapped, Ann-Kathrin is forced to act.
Without further ado, she decides to make an unusual self-experiment: her neighbor and long-time friend, the bricklayer Peter Grendel, is not even surprised when Ann-Kathrin asks him to wall her up. Her colleague and partner Frank Weller tries to talk her out of it, but she stays with it. After all, the criminal-scientific investigative methods have not yet taken them one step further. There is not much time left to put the puzzle pieces together in one picture, because on the third day without water, the life of the last two victims in their dark dungeon only hangs on a thread. 

A young woman hangs, tied up on ropes, dead in a tree in the Schlosspark Lütetsburg –, obviously she was the victim of a cruel violent crime. The suspicion falls on the ex-prisoner Dieter Meuling, who had a love affair with the young woman. Meuling is arrested. Shortly afterwards, his lawyer answers with explosive information. Meuling found out from his former cellmate who is the murderer of Ann Kathrin Klaasen's father. He would tell her the name if the Commissioner helped him escape. Ann Kathrin agrees against the advice of her colleague Frank Weller. When Dieter Meuling does not want to reveal the murderer's name, she threatens him with the gun. But Meuling manages to escape. Kripo boss Ubbo Heide is beside himself.
He has no choice, he suspends Ann Kathrin Klaasen. A short time later, the body of another young woman is found on the beach, her body was up to her neck in the sand buried. The investigators finally manage to face the fleeting Dieter Meuling, but the situation derives within seconds: Meuling is armed and takes a hostage. Weller is forced to shoot – Meuling collapses fatally and takes the knowledge of the murderer of Ann Kathrin's father to the grave. It returns to rest in East Frisia. But soon a third body appears. A young man was tied to a concrete block in the mudflats and drowned in the flood. It seems to be the same perpetrator, Meuling was apparently innocent.
Then the daughter of the famous artist Freimut Diebold, who is currently in his home country, disappears to celebrate his life's work with a retrospective. Ann Kathrin Klaasen suspects that the murders have to do with the four elements and that the young woman will be the last victim for the final „ fire scenario ". A race against time begins for the investigators. 

A school class follows their teacher into the mudflats and comes back without him. Was he an irresponsible person who put his class in great danger and died himself? Or did a few diabolical students take advantage of the situation to get rid of a hated teacher? Ann Kathrin Klaasen does not believe in it and initially lets the main suspect, the student Laura, run. Laura leads her directly to her friend Sascha, who posted a death notice from the teacher on the net just a week earlier. During the chase, Frank Weller falls from a scaffolding and suffers brain trauma.
When the teacher's body is recovered, Ann Kathrin is torn in her concern for Weller, her obligations to her son Eike, and the case, who takes a completely new turn with the appearance of BKA official Elisabeth Fädli. Because the body out of the mudflats is not the teacher, but a colleague from the BKA. Like Fädli and other colleagues, this was switched off for 24/7 monitoring of the highly relapsed sex offender Gerd Eichinger. The man is a ticking time bomb. Meanwhile, Laura and Sascha get the fleeting Eichinger, who has settled in with them in an aunt's holiday home on Norderney. The presence of the attractive Laura makes Eichinger wrestle with his inner demons.
When a stranger makes him an immoral offer that would allow him to flee abroad, the young people are in great danger. Ann Kathrin reverses the question, what really happened in the mudflats. She targets the BKA officials. Even if her boss Ubbo Heide disagrees, she is convinced that they know more than they admit and that they are the key, to find the youngsters.

Her father has been dead for 15 years, but the unexplained murder leaves Commissioner Ann Kathrin Klaasen alone. Her colleague Frank Weller urges her to go to the doctor. In practice, she experiences a fist-thick surprise: in the waiting room she sees a photo of her own father in the wallet of an old lady, together with a completely unknown to her Woman. Even though Gertrud Klocke affirmed that the man in the photo is the fiance of her late daughter, there is no doubt for the Commissioner. Ann Kathrin cannot forget the encounter. Therefore, she visits Ms. Klocke again in the senior residence, but finds the old lady lifeless in a beach chair.

A woman killer makes East Frisia unsafe. The victims are murdered in apartments. The apparently only thing in common among the murdered is their lack of tattoo. Does the murderer lift this up as a trophy, or did he do completely different things with it? – In this case, Ann Kathrin Klaasen not only hunts a psychopathic serial killer, but also tries, to save her husband Frank Weller from disaster. Weller's instinct raises the alarm. He finds evidence that his daughter's lover is the sought-after serial killer. Even if Jule declares her father paranoid and Ann Kathrin is skeptical, Weller is rock solidly convinced that he has to snatch his daughter from the clutches of a serial killer. For that he risks everything. And to make matters worse, the BKA also interferes.
