Hensleff's last case
CONTENTS
A corpse lies in the smoldering remains of the burnt down garden sauna of a prominent crime writer. Owe is a big fan of Bettina Döring, especially her character, Inspector Hensleff.
As the team quickly finds out, the victim is the cleaner Katerina Mlinar. Because of her discreet nature, she was not only employed by Bettina Döring, but also by many other celebrities. Viktoria and Sami begin investigating the local VIP scene.
After the autopsy, it is clear that Katerina did not die from the fire, but from a heart attack. However, there is evidence that she was anesthetized beforehand. Katerina's daughter Dunja, who reported her missing the day before her death, leads the team to one of her mother's ex-boyfriends. He had exploited her, abused her and, after their separation four years ago, indicated that he would kill her.
Katerina now seems to have had a new relationship, but she hasn't told her daughter anything about it. The team investigates in all directions, including Katerina's customers. There are indications that Katerina may have blackmailed her clients with spicy intimacies that she found and photographed while cleaning. Large sums of money that were repeatedly deposited into her account seem to indicate this. In any case, Katerina's apartment was broken into and everything was vandalized. The burglar seems to have been looking for something. Was the burglar after the photos? Or something completely different? The case becomes more complicated when it becomes clear that Katerina had already disappeared three days before she was reported missing.
Josh causes a surprise in the thatched roof house. He invited his father to his theater performance. Feli is worried whether Ben, who lives with his new family in London, will actually make it to Flensburg.

Heroes
CONTENTS
Viktoria and Feli are called to an unusual case: the body of a Prussian soldier lies in the forest of a Flensburg noble family, shot with a historical weapon.
The other circumstances of the discovery also raise a lot of questions: The dead man, Jan Toft, who is currently working on his master's thesis on the Prussian-Danish War, had an empty backpack and an expensive bicycle with him. In addition to his job at the Düppeler Schanzen museum, did he also have an illegal source of money?
Jan Toft has always been fascinated by the history of the region. He was about to complete his history studies, published explanatory videos about historical artifacts and worked in the museum at the Düppeler Schanzen, which recreates the camp life of soldiers from the Prussian-Danish War of 1864. He was also a member of a reenactment group. Is that where the murder weapon came from?
The association was founded in memory of the Prussian soldier Carl von Grundmann and works closely with his noble descendants. When Viktoria and Sami ask around, it becomes clear: under no circumstances should the murder be made public. Charly Grundmann, the youngest member of the noble family and an honorary member of the group, takes Jan's death seriously, but the two had an affair. Did her friend Thomas Hellbach want revenge?
Meanwhile, a surprise guest arrives at the Lorentzen sisters' house. Josh's father, whom Feli and Josh haven't seen for a while, comes to visit and presents Feli with a difficult decision.

The Pearl
CONTENTS
Finja Eilers lies dead in her bar, someone killed her with a beer mug. Apparently the landlady not only had a lot of debt, but also had a custody battle over her 10-year-old son that had been fought through all courts.
The Lorentzen sisters are personally affected by the fate of Finja's son Julius, who is now an orphan. They were around Julius' age when their mother died of a heart attack while she was swimming at night with little Feli.
After her father's death, Finja Eilers took over his pearl, a traditional pub and the second living room for many in the district. But even though the restaurant was well attended, it was on the verge of closure. Finja was heavily in debt. In order to save the pearl, she canceled her life insurance and immediately had it paid out in cash. However, the money cannot be found.
As much as the regulars appreciated Finja's passionate commitment to the pub, her ex-husband André could not share their enthusiasm. Finja had a secure job with him as an accountant in his shipyard, but running a restaurant only brought risk and a lot of trouble. Above all, it wasn't the right environment for their son Julius, especially since Finja had less and less time for him.
In order to ensure that conditions are regulated for the ten-year-old, André fought for the sole right of residence in court. Finja wanted to object to this. Apparently she feared that André and his new girlfriend Stella wanted to take the child away from her. Did she have to die because of that?
The sisters throw themselves into the investigation even more passionately than usual. You have to find Finja's murderer. Viktoria and Feli are also challenged in their private lives. Viktoria urgently needs to clarify her feelings for Sami and Feli needs to grow beyond herself as a mother.
