Deadly visit from the past. Polt investigates in the Weinviertel. Murder in the rectory: In the wine cellars of the idyllic Wiesbach Valley in the Weinviertel, not only the cult gendarme Simon Polt is present, but also the sharp-tongued gourmet Hafner. He dines with the pastor's cook, who shortly thereafter dies from a deadly nightshade poisoning. As Polt begins his investigation, it becomes clear: the pastor's cook took the commandment of love for one's neighbor very seriously - Hafner is not the only former lover who could be a suspect. Alfred Komarek, the creator of the Austrian crime novel, has written Austrian crime history with his novels, which are both crime stories and social studies. All five cases of Simon Polt have been successfully adapted into films, with Erwin Steinhauer in the lead role. What stands out is the unique investigation.
