The most unusual police officer of recent years: Inspector Takeda from Tokyo is investigating in Hamburg. The case seems straightforward. A young man pushed a woman in front of a train at a Hamburg S-Bahn station. However, he denies it, and suddenly the witnesses are uncertain. Inspector Takeda and his colleague Claudia Harms have to let seventeen-year-old Simon go. But wherever he appears, more deaths occur. Claudia is desperate because there is never any solid evidence, but Takeda, an intuitive investigator, has a different suspicion. Someone is using Simon to cover up their own actions. "Inspector Ken Takeda ... I have been captivated by him since his first case. For me, he is one of the most interesting, unconventional, and attractive detectives currently in the German crime scene." Cornelia Hüppe, Crime Bookstore Miss Marple, Berlin.
