On the “ratline” to Argentina. Inspector Oppenheimer discovers a Nazi trafficking ring
In 1947, Inspector Oppenheimer of the Berlin police force is called to the scene of a crime, where there does not appear to be much to investigate. The body is that of an intruder who was surprised by the homeowner. However, Oppenheimer has doubts about how the events unfolded and these doubts are soon confirmed. When shortly after his colleague Billhardt vanishes without a trace, Oppenheimer realises the extent of the maze of betrayal and deceit he has got himself into. And the conspiracy stretches to the ranks of the criminal investigation department.
