A lively evening in the old town of Mainz: Schack Bekker is celebrating exuberantly with his pub friend Norbert Neumann and the guys from the Bundesliga betting round. The commissioner has no idea that he is seeing Neumann for the last time. A few days later, he learns from his colleague Erna that his friend has disappeared without a trace. Until now, no one knows anything about the dark dealings and fatal match-fixing connected to Neumann's vanishing. "Missed" is not only a consequential penalty kick that triggers a deadly escalation. "Missed" is also the long-overdue love story between the unconventional Mainz old town commissioner and his charming colleague. A must-read for fans of Schack Bekker, the quintessential Mainz character, who investigates in his usual cheeky manner and speaks his mind in his new case.
