The new case for Chief Inspector Egi from Oberstdorf is nerve-wracking. Hardly has PHK Egi Huber solved his first case when another corpse appears in the idyllic Oberstdorf in the Allgäu. More specifically, it is floating in the Breitach. Even worse: the despised colleagues from the Kempten criminal police are getting involved again, and Chief Meier is pushing him to close the case quickly. But the people of Allgäu are a peculiar bunch. No one seems to know anything about the deceased Annet Balder, and when it comes down to it, the locals stick together. Egi must use all his charm and rely on his clever colleagues to employ all their investigative skills. Because PHK will not be outdone by the Kempten criminal police. If there is going to be a murder in his territory, Egi wants to solve the case himself.
