- Conti hat eine Zeit der persönlichen Krisen und der schmerzvollen Selbstreflektion hinter sich. Doch als sie von dem Wirbel um die bekannte, junge Mutter und Musikerin Elisabeth "Liz" Jordan Wind bekommt, erwacht der noch in ihr schlummernde Kampfgeist und Sinn für Gerechtigkeit. Der Sängerin wird vorgeworfen, ihren Säugling in der Badewanne ertränkt zu haben. Als bereits bekannte "Rabenmutter" wird sie von der Presse und auf Social Media öffentlich bloßgestellt und schonungslos (vor-)verurteilt - eine Erfahrung, die Anwältin Conti unfreiwillig mit der jungen Frau verbindet. Sie übernimmt den Fall, und die Verteidigung wird für die einstige Staranwältin zum Comeback. Im Prozess um den Mord an der kleinen Zara steht Conti ihrer einstigen Referendarin Henry Mahn gegenüber. Für die junge Staatsanwältin ist es der erste Fall. Sie will keine Fehler machen. Für Conti steht Henrys erster Fehler jedoch schon fest: Zu Unrecht wurde Liz vorschnell in U-Haft gesteckt und damit in der Öffentlichkeit für Stimmung und Hetze gesorgt. Doch kurz bevor der Haftrichter Liz' Freilassung gewährt, spricht diese plötzlich ein klares Geständnis aus und lässt ihre Verteidigerin in einer scheinbar aussichtslosen Position zurück. Mit Liz in U-Haft und Matt Westphal, dem Musikproduzenten und Kindsvater, als Nebenkläger steht Conti nicht nur vor einem besonders verzwickten Fall, sondern auch selbst wieder im Rampenlicht. Gemeinsam mit ihrem Schützling Carlo, der es sich im vergangenen Jahr in ihrer schicken Kanzlei an der Alster wohnlich eingerichtet hat, vertieft sich Conti in die Recherche und Verteidigungsstrategie. Dabei stoßen die beiden auf Liz' wohlgehütetes Geheimnis.

Until the homicide squad from Esbjerg arrives, the patrol officer confidently expands her job assignment. To the chagrin of her conspicuously bad-tempered colleague Magnus Vinter, she begins investigating on her own. Inspector Frida Olsen is as astonished that Horik Holm was executed with two Viking arrows, as is the family background: The victim is the son of an underworld boss who comes from the tranquil coastal region. When Kort Holm arrives, he leaves no doubt that the perpetrator will be brought to justice. For Ida's colleague Magnus, the case is doubly tricky: not only does he know Holm better than he initially admits. A suspect, his own nephew Bjarne Vinter, is also close to him. Magnus and his colleague Ida must solve the mysterious murder and also protect Bjarne from Holm and his henchman Bech.

But she isn't going to marry just anybody. Her husband must be German. And he must have the fire of a Turkish man. The search of a suitable man is on.
- The notorious "Angel of St. Pauli" is back. For Chief Inspector Jan Fabel there is no doubt who is behind the gruesome murder of a 48-year-old journalist. The act is like an unexplained series of crimes that occurred ten years ago and Fabel has no rest: Somebody cut the throats of nine men, all of them sex offenders, pimps and beating husbands, and castrated them alive - as if they were for their violence should atone for women. The current victim, who has been charged with attempted rape, fits into the scheme. In order to understand the motive for revenge, Fabel does not ask the police psychologist Susanne, but his ex-girlfriend, who wrote a book about the "angel", for help. The commissioner soon realizes, however, that the case is more complex than expected: a murderess who killed in the same way before the "angel" has broken out of the closed psychiatric ward. Then, as now, she is ruled out as a perpetrator. When a second victim is found in the red-light district, Fabel's intuition sounds the alarm: Like the journalist, the murdered man had a connection to a recycling company that Simon Blohm runs with the support of his father-in-law. Is someone using the "angel" handwriting to distract from something else? Fabel has little time to find out what is really going on here.

Chaos reigns even at the police station, where the conscientious patrol officer Ida Sörensen helps out on the night shift. At this moment, nobody thinks of the sadistic serial killer who kidnaps people and starves them to death in the forest. So Ida doesn't recognize Smillla Vestergaad either, who has been missing for days, was able to free herself from her shackles, now appears among all the disguised and drunk in the police station, but hardly gets a word out. When the young woman disappeared a little later, the policewoman found herself exposed to serious accusations from her older colleague Magnus Vinter. Ambitious Commissioner Olsen is certain that there is little time left to find the abductee alive. Regardless of responsibilities, Ida does everything to make up for her fatal mistake. In the case of an unexplained death 20 years ago, she suspects the starting point for the motif of the serial perpetrator, whose murders do not seem to fit into any profile. The fact that Ida dives into the past despite the greatest time pressure sounds completely absurd at first. The desperate policewoman, however, is not deterred and uncovered a tragic secret that was years ago and is now supposed to be atoned for.
