Shortly afterwards, the sole suspect confesses – not entirely of his own volition – to the crime and commits suicide. The case appears to be closed. Not for Matthäi. Obsessed with the idea that he is on the trail of a serial killer, he devises a dubious plan. He takes over a petrol station as a tenant and sets a trap there for the unknown murderer. His housekeeper’s young daughter serves as the decoy.
