Hofrat Seywald is in a bad mood – at least until a murder is reported in Bad Gastein. This time he wants to lead the investigation personally. And – unselfish, as it is its kind – in the world-famous health resort, by the way, try out a few applications against its rheumatism. Major Palfinger and colleague Russmeyer initially have completely different concerns. Nothing is as it seems. Investigators cannot rely on their experience or tried and tested forensic medicine. Because before it was found, the body in a shaft in the famous hot spring water of Bad Gastein was properly „ " for a long time. Important traces and references to the time of death can hardly be found. The identity of the dead is quickly clear: Gregor Torbeck.
This represented in the community his father Jan Torbeck, an unpopular construction lion and investor who only buys the entire old town around the waterfall, but does not invest anything. The main suspect is soon the young SEK woman from Germany, Rebecca Quast, who is currently taking part in an alpine course in Bad Gastein with her group. And this is how Commissioner Mur comes into play: he himself should look at the Austrian authorities' fingers and make sure that a German official is not investigated unilaterally. With his usual „ lenses " Art, he soon has a completely different suspect in his sights: Agrin Dibra, the operator of a night club. Investigators approach a phantom and have to realize that the perpetrator wants to accomplish his revenge with a second murder at all costs.
