Father Braun had his doubts about the honor to supervise as celebrant the professing of novices in a posh female Benedictine nunnery, feeling lady abbots are never to be trusted, even before crime strikes. Lurking around the abbey, private detective Hermann Rammstet photographed Braun's naughty 'altar boy' Armin's romantic meetings with novice Anna, but spying one such night on Armin, Braun discovers Rammstet's knife-pierced corpse at the monastery wall. Braun is declared sole prime suspect, costing 50.000 Euro bail while the ambitious state attorney and his assistant seem after the priest's scalp, so bishop Hemmelrath, who assumes the gardener must be the killer, tails Braun, who easily shakes him off and teams up with commissioner Geiger, who even helps him 'borrow' evidence. They seek links between the PI and any secret hidden by the abbess Johanna, novices mistress Maria and novice Anna, while his housekeeper, Armin's mother Roßhauptnerin, goes undercover as 'prospective nun' . Braun finds the gardener knows about a secret passage and the key link to a much older crime. Written by KGF Vissers
