Wolf & Gutenberg

Some deserve to live. Others deserve to die.
A lunar eclipse hovers above Hamburg and bathes houses and streets in an unearthly light. In the exclusive district of Blankenese, four men are brutally murdered in the basement of a villa. Only the granddaughter of the owner survives the bloody massacre. Severely traumatized and completely listless, she is found sitting in the middle of the corpses. She cannot remember anything.
Assistant District Attorney Alex Gutenberg, who has to struggle with a number of personal issues himself, asks the criminal psychologist Dr. Evelin Wolf for support.
When Evelin succeeds in penetrating the buried memories of the key witness piece by piece, she and Alex begin to disclose not only the motives for the massacre, but also the unimaginable extent of cruelty and depravity behind it.
And Alex suddenly finds himself confronted with his own guilt-ridden past...

Death lurks in the shadows
Who are you? Hamburg Criminal Psychologist Dr. Evelin Wolf wonders as she examines the severely disturbed homeless man with the conspicuous scar across his face. The extremely aggressive man with no memory or identity is alleged to have committed a brutal murder. But Evelin and Assistant District Attorney Alex Gutenberg doubt his guilt and suspect there is something more behind the supposedly crystal-clear case.
Shortly thereafter, Hamburg is shaken by a series of murders unparalleled in cruelty and sadism. The perverted killer draws a bloody trail across the Hanseatic city and links it with a clear message to Alex and Evelin: Revenge.
Alex and Evelin work feverishly to solve both cases. In the process, they make a fatal mistake. And the killer exploits it mercilessly…

The most dangerous people are those you trust.

The dismembered body of a young woman is discovered in a forest near Hamburg. Her remains give a terrifyingly vivid account of the unimaginably cruel torture she suffered before her death.

Assistant District Attorney Alex Gutenberg and criminal psychologist Dr. Evelin Wolf feverishly try everything to bring down the serial killer before he takes his next victim.
A clue leads them to a severely mentally disturbed inmate of an asylum for the criminally insane. He seems to be the key to solving the current crimes. But the interned remains silent.
Evelin has only one chance: She must succeed in penetrating the inmate's tainted mind. But the price is high. Evelin tracks down a terrible secret and suddenly finds her own life at stake…
