The day in Bayreuth begins like any other. But then there is a murder. A Bayreuth lawyer shoots a judge in the course of the trial. Shortly before the act, he looks at the clock and waits for the full hour. Then he escapes. Exactly an hour later, a university employee dies. Again, lawyer Peters is the culprit. There is initially no recognizable motive, no connection between the perpetrator and the two victims. But there is a pattern. Here, too, Peters waited the full hour. And it is still fleeting. Is there a third murder looming on the hour? Who will be the victim? And where is the act planned? Felix Voss, Paula Ringelhahn and their team are investigating in a rapid race against time to save another human life.
