SYNOPSIS

Lena Fauch will not see the quiet place in the small church in Iffeldorf, where she occasionally found refuge listening to the organist practice, for a long time – she accepts Kuda’s offer and becomes a police chaplain in Munich.

One of her first tasks confronts her with the criminal police officer Gregor Hoffmann. Assaulted on the occasion of an arrest, Hoffmann is ordered to provide pastoral care. The encounter is provocative and disturbing. Hoffmann is inaccessible and rude.

Detective Chief Inspector Christian Fenn is different. He is an avowed Christian and is happy to have Lena as a reinforcement in what he calls the “fight against Sodom and Gomorrah”. Fenn is firmly convinced that he is one of the good guys. He knows what is right and what is not, and he also knows who deserves punishment. What Fenn doesn’t see is that his self-righteous attitude makes his daughter vulnerable to blackmail and puts her in a horrible situation. For when his ex-wife turns up with unbelievable news and Tim Eidlinger, a former boyfriend of Fenn’s daughter, is found dead and Fenn is put on the case, the entanglements within the Fenn family begin to tighten like nooses….

Because she looks at things differently and therefore sees differently, Lena Fauch is able to untangle the deadly tangle of false morals and blind guilt.
