When science journalist Nina Falkenberg visits her former mentor Anasias in Georgia, she finds herself in the middle of a deadly attack on him. Beforehand, however, he is able to reveal to Nina that he has succeeded in finding a drug against the world’s most dangerous multi-resistant germs. Is that why he had to die? Together with food hunter Tom Morell, whose daughter has contracted one of these germs, Nina tries to trace the research results. But Nina and Tom are not the only ones after Anasias’ research, and their opponents do not shy away from kidnapping, blackmail or murder.
