Harbor meets Kiez: Case 3 for the Water Police Hamburg
Late in the evening, Melanie Cullmann takes the last ferry to Dockland and asks her husband Fred to pick her up at the dock. She has a bad feeling - as it turns out, rightly so: Melanie never arrives, and the police can only recover her body from the harbor waters.
Jonna Jacobi takes over the investigation but soon realizes that nobody on board the ferry saw anything. However, Fred Cullmann seems to be hiding something; he vehemently refuses any support from Charlotte Severin of victim protection. Only from Melanie's colleagues at the Eurocon Container Terminal, the vibrant heart of the Hamburg harbor, Jonna learns some explosive details: Apparently, Melanie had knowledge that is barely matched by money in criminal organizations. Was she a perpetrator, an accomplice - or did she get too close to someone? Water policeman Tom Bendixen decides to infiltrate his best officer as an undercover investigator at the terminal.
While the investigation stalls, it becomes clear that the husband of the deceased is far from harmless, as he appears. Driven by loss, he vows revenge. A race against time begins, in which Tom and Jonna must find the perpetrator before the desperate widower takes the law into his own hands. But neither Tom nor Jonna can imagine who they are really dealing with...
