Seinerzeit hat Hitlers tödliches Giftgas Tabun niemanden umgebracht. Doch seit dem Krieg tötet es jedes Jahr ahnungslose Touristen an den deutschen Küsten! Auf den Gleisen des Rasenden Roland verbrennt ein junger Familienvater. Die blinde ehemalige Oberstaatsanwältin Katharina König ahnt, dass es kein normaler Unfall war, wie es die Behörden auf Rügen glauben machen wollen. Alle schweigen und bald geraten sie und ihr junger Assistent Elias selbst in Lebensgefahr. Als ein hochintelligenter Rechtsradikaler auftaucht, wird klar, dass es um viel mehr geht.

He has only one request: that she reads to him. The request is not unusual, but the battered, leather-bound tome she must read is no ordinary book.
