A new exciting case for sports policeman Hannes Niehaus by bestselling author Hendrik Falkenberg. The cemetery outside the city gates is bathed in warm sunlight. Two workers are digging a grave for an upcoming funeral when they make an unexpected discovery: the grave is already occupied, and even without forensic knowledge, it is clear that the man did not die a natural death. Hannes Niehaus takes over the investigation, and it quickly becomes apparent to him that this may be a settling of scores within the criminal underworld. As he encounters a wall of silence there, Hannes convinces his boss to use an old acquaintance in prison as an informant. This tactic has its pros and cons, as the closer the investigators get to the solution, the more people find themselves in danger.
