Marie Brand und die Leichen im Keller

When a stalker is secretly staying in Annika Herforth's house, she returns home surprisingly. A short time later, the young woman is found dead by her neighbor. Herforth was obviously pushed down the basement stairs. Inspector Marie Brand and her colleague Simmel take up the investigation and Annika's sister Nelly immediately expresses a concrete suspicion. She accuses Florian Leffers, who has been bothering Annika for some time and has even been reported by her for stalking. Leffers is questioned and gives as an alibi that he was ice skating with his new girlfriend and her son at the time of the crime. The alibi is confirmed by Joy Wagner. So Nelly Herforth herself comes under pressure because the investigators find out

Nelly Herforth works as a freelance tax consultant and has her own law firm. Among their customers is the dentist couple Heike and Erik Böttcher. Herforth had helped them smuggle money past the Treasury, which Florian Leffers overheard when he was secretly in Annika Herforth's house, as was so often the case, and overheard a phone call in which she had advised her sister and her clients to report themselves. So he tries to blackmail the Böttchers, but it doesn't work. As a result, Leffers is in a coma with cerebral hemorrhage. Leffer's girlfriend Joy Wagner then begins to run amok and kills him as he wakes from the coma. Initially, however, suspicion falls on Erik Böttcher, who had just been in the hospital and actually toyed with the idea of killing Leffers. However, this could be ruled out by the surveillance cameras at the entrance to the intensive care unit. But Brand can convict Wagner in this way. According to the accused, she also pushed Annika Herforth down the stairs because that day she wanted to talk to the woman who accused her boyfriend of stalking. However, this escalated and ended fatally for Herforth. Wagner knew of her friend's obsession, which had repeatedly led him to the house of his beloved. Fearing that he might have loved his Annika more than she did, she would have killed him in the hospital. Simmel rolls his eyes at hearing this logic. because that day she wanted to talk to the woman who accused her boyfriend of stalking. However, this escalated and ended fatally for Herforth.
