Kuno Denzer, the owner of a locksmith business in Lübeck, is found dead in his shop. The metalworker, who had a previous conviction for burglary, had recently won EUR21 million in the lottery. Investigators Finn Kiesewetter and Sandra Schwartenbeck found traces of a struggle in the shop, but no signs of a break-in. During their investigation into the deceased's environment, it emerged that his only living relative, his brother Karl Denzer, was heavily in debt due to his wife's illness and could use the money. During their questioning, the brother told the two police officers that Kuno Denzer was still involved in shady dealings and surrounded himself with dubious characters. Finn's supervisor, Lars Englen, and his colleague, Schroeter, also expressed similar suspicions about Kuno Denzer. They were simultaneously working on a series of burglaries in which, apart from the stolen items, there were no signs of a break-in. When investigators learn that Kuno Denzer withdrew EUR200,000 of his winnings in small bills from his bank shortly before his death, all the evidence points to a robbery-murder. But Finn has a feeling there's more to the whole thing. And his instincts rarely deceive him.
