Casstroff - 13 - Liebeshunger
The latest case of the Hamburg Criminal Police Office suddenly hits Jan Casstorff personally: 45-year-old Karin Freiberg is found murdered in her "work apartment"; she had offered so-called "housewife sex" - prostitution without any connection to the milieu. To the surprise of his colleagues, Casstorff knew the woman because he had had a short but intense love affair with her many years ago. After that he never saw her again. Struck by the sight of the badly battered corpse, Casstorff first examines the family background of the dead. He meets her husband Joachim Freiberg, who is in a wheelchair, and their twelve-year-old son Felix.
With her employment as a prostitute, Karin - with the knowledge of her husband - financed the family's life after the former car salesman was no longer able to work after an accident. Holicek is investigating at the same time in the vicinity of the work apartment: with the exception of the caretaker Kowalski, the tenants are shocked, but make no secret of their open rejection of this trade in their house. The result of the pathology shows that Karin Freiberg was not strangled, as initially suspected, but suffocated painfully - under the blanket that lay on her body. The investigations quickly bring up further concrete information: Karin shared the apartment with a colleague Christiane, for whom she stood in on the day in question.
Was Christiane supposed to die? She stubbornly refuses to say anything about the case, even when she is beaten up by two brutal extortionists. Casstorff and Holicek can establish this quickly, but have no proof. Out of necessity, Casstorff makes a deal with them and uses their contacts in the scene. It is their information about clients who like brutal bondage variants that lead to Philipp Kochbeck being caught in the net. Kochbeck, suffering from his tendencies, admits to having tied up Karin Freiberg for his games against her will, but denies the murder. Further trace comparisons lead back to the environment of individual residents who had far more contact with the two prostitutes than initially admitted.
In this way, Casstorff gets ever deeper into the world of relationships that surrounded Karin Freiberg, and supported by an understanding Wanda Wilhelmi, he succeeds in clarifying the tragic context of the case.

The Ministry of Time
The Ministry of Time, a newly established government department, is gathering ‘expats' from across history in an experiment to test the viability of time-travel. Commander Graham Gore (an officer on Sir John Franklin's doomed 1845 Arctic expedition) is one such figure rescued from certain death – alongside an army captain from the fields of the Somme, a plague victim from the 1600s, a widow from revolutionary France, and a soldier from the seventeenth century.
The expats are placed with 21st century liaisons, known as 'bridges', in unlikely flatshares. Gore has to learn about contemporary life from scratch: from air travel to industrial warfare, from feminism to Spotify, from cinema to indoor plumbing; and he must negotiate cohabiting with the ambitious modern woman who works as his bridge. After an awkward beginning, the pair start to find pleasure and comfort in each other's company, developing a relationship that is simultaneously tender, intense and profoundly unprofessional; and the expats, adrift in a new era, form friendships that ground and support them in the lonely 21st century, where they have outlived everyone they ever knew and loved.
When a deeper conspiracy at the Ministry begins to reveal itself, the bridge must reckon with what she does next. Will she save or sacrifice the exiled misfits she has come to care for so deeply?
