The neighborhood where Mario Palinski lives is in turmoil: a couple was shot in broad daylight! The main suspect is retired police officer Albert Göllner, who usually ensures safety at night with his blank-firing pistol. At the same time, Palinski learns that he has a daughter living in distant South Tyrol: Silvana Sterzinger-Godaj comes from the famous Budapest confectionery dynasty of the Godajs, whose sweet masterpieces have already delighted the Austrian imperial family. As an excellent cook and pastry chef, Silvana is supposed to participate in the international culinary exhibition taking place in Vienna. However, since her arrival two days ago, she has vanished without a trace. As an experienced investigator and concerned father, Palinski senses a conspiracy, and he is right!.
