Der scharlachrote Engel (The Scarlet Angel (Emergency call 110)
Detective Chief Superintendent Tauber spends another one of his sleepless nights
making model railway buildings in his office.
The telephone rings and a young woman call Flo confesses to having possibly
fatally wounded a certain Will Gérard.
Tauber and his female colleague, Jo Obermaier, search the caller´s flat but
although they find a trail of blood
it disappears completely and a body can´t be found.
Had Florianne Engelhard ∼ the full name of the law student ∼ just made the story up?
Had she created the trail of blood herself? But then, why?
Whilst Tauber trains his observant eye on Flo´s beauty,
Jo Obermaier´s criminological eye doesn´t miss the fact that in Flo´s flat
there is a webcam installed over her PC.
Did the trail of blood have something to do with the secretive camera?
In the course of their investigation Tauber and Obermaier discover further surprising things about Flo´s life.
For instance, Florianne Engelhard doesn´t work on the side as a “tourist guide”
for Munich Travel Group but as a mysterious "Angel".
