Die Maske der Schuld (The Mask Of Guilt)

When the fear of death opens the door to a murderer …
The second case for the unconventional investigator Richard Schwarz.

A corpse with horrific injuries to the body and skull is fished out of the Danube. Richard Schwarz from the LKA (Landeskriminalamt: State Criminal Police Office) knows the dead man: Jan Dorn, a seriously ill former police colleague. The investigation leads him to Jan’s self-help group, where hopes are raised with every new drug from the pharmaceutical industry. The fear of death is a cruel game with experimental studies and miracle cures.

Determined, Richard does everything he can to put an end to the perfidious goings-on. But a secret from his own past comes to light and casts a shadow over the current case. Richard is horrified to discover that the murderer is always one step ahead of him.
