Carla Broling has disappeared. A seventeen-year-old student from Lübeck, who seems to be missed by no one in her environment, except for her single mother, who in her desperation turns to Simon Winter, who claims to be the best private investigator between the North and Baltic Seas. Winter's investigations quickly lead him to the trail of a drug-dealing classmate. He is the son of the Schleswig-Holstein interior minister. When Winter learns a few days later that a vehicle with an abducted girl has been found in the Danish town of Rødby, he slowly begins to grasp the magnitude of this case. What role do the Bandidos, who are suddenly after him, play? His path ultimately leads him into the highest circles of Kiel's politics, where everything is even worse than he ever imagined.
