A Skull in a Lake and Nazi Gold on the Darknet - the 9th case for Sabine Kaufmann and Ralph Angersbach

 

The tourist idyll on Lake Edersee is severely disrupted when two anglers pull a skull out of the water. Then there is a suspected right-wing extremist attack on a politician and a clue from the Darknet that also leads to the region: Someone is trying to sell Nazi gold. Ralph Angersbach and Sabine Kaufmann soon find out that the skull is old and was probably washed up from a grave that sank in the lake. Is there a connection between the gold and the attack on the politician? The Erdmann family keeps cropping up at the centre of the investigation, but there is no concrete evidence. Then the Edersee releases more body parts ...
