Adventurous start for Valerie "Violet" Mauser. Following the lively welcome party at her new workplace in Innsbruck, she has an immediate audience with the governor. The case assigned to her there is serious: the young daughter of a Russian oligarch has been kidnapped from her ski class. This cannot cause a stir in the Holy Land of Tyrol, which is why the investigations must remain strictly confidential. Her new colleagues also do not make life easy for the determined investigator.

Investigations unfold between ski hotels, banks, and politics. A body turns up, and before she knows it, Valerie finds herself in a case that picks up speed rapidly, putting her in the crosshairs more than once. Amidst ski hotels, banks, and the esteemed governor, Violet senses a conspiracy and quickly sets off on a trail in her new territory.
