- The notorious "Angel of St. Pauli" is back. For Chief Inspector Jan Fabel there is no doubt who is behind the gruesome murder of a 48-year-old journalist. The act is like an unexplained series of crimes that occurred ten years ago and Fabel has no rest: Somebody cut the throats of nine men, all of them sex offenders, pimps and beating husbands, and castrated them alive - as if they were for their violence should atone for women. The current victim, who has been charged with attempted rape, fits into the scheme. In order to understand the motive for revenge, Fabel does not ask the police psychologist Susanne, but his ex-girlfriend, who wrote a book about the "angel", for help. The commissioner soon realizes, however, that the case is more complex than expected: a murderess who killed in the same way before the "angel" has broken out of the closed psychiatric ward. Then, as now, she is ruled out as a perpetrator. When a second victim is found in the red-light district, Fabel's intuition sounds the alarm: Like the journalist, the murdered man had a connection to a recycling company that Simon Blohm runs with the support of his father-in-law. Is someone using the "angel" handwriting to distract from something else? Fabel has little time to find out what is really going on here.
