Elin Bertram ist nicht leicht aus der Fassung zu bringen. Mit der Soko Mondschein sucht die Hamburger Kommissarin einen Serienmörder, der seit elf Jahren entlang der Nordseeküste junge Frauen brutal ermordet. Dann wird sie in das kleine Hafenstädtchen Carolinensiel gerufen: In einer verlassenen Hütte in einem Kiefernwald wurde die 17-jährige Jonna tot aufgefunden.
