Munich - At the End of the Hall

There is a point in every human being when they are lonely. Lisa Brenner knew that moment. When her body is found one gray morning in front of a high-rise building, having fallen from the 12th floor balcony, she leaves behind a number of men who adored and loved her. Lisa was so close and devoted to all of them that in the end nobody knew if he was really her favorite. A tricky case that also deeply shakes the trust between Leitmayr and Batic.

Batic and Leitmayr are tasked with solving Karim's murder, but their hands are tied when it comes to their investigation. Batic rages, Leitmayr urges "diplomatic" action. But to their amazement, the Emir's son cooperates.
