The smart BKA commissioner Marc Hartlob heads the "Soko Milieu", which is trying to solve a series of simultaneous suicides in the red-light districts of many German cities. First he comes to Hamburg to investigate the "Jasmin" case with his attractive local colleague. The victim lived in very ominous family circumstances with her two younger sisters in their father's house. While there is considerable chemistry between the two investigators, doubts about the young prostitute's suicide grow ever greater. The investigation is slow because the public prosecutors lack the facts to suspect murder. But Marc is not put off. He uses the latest surveillance technology in large brothels to catch a perpetrator red-handed. The sister of the murdered woman offers herself as a decoy. Carlton Roster's socially critical novel sends readers on a varied journey, spiced with love, excessive hatred, brutal murders and a brilliant finale.
