The Scarlet Shadow

Summary After nearly losing her weapon while catching a dangerous criminal, Rita is taken off active duty to train at a facility in hand to hand combat for female police officers to avoid another dangerous situation. While there, she meets an old friend in the form of Robin Curry, a police officer with the Internal Affairs division of Palm Beach and the two catch up on old times. Robin seemed a little worried about something and tries to tell Rita during dinner but chooses not to. An hour or so later, Robin tries to call Rita up saying that she has to meet with her and so along with Chris, they go on the prowl to find her but are too late when Robin is found in a motel in her lingerie, cuffed and strangled to death. Things get personal for Rita at this point but her problems are just beginning when two officers from Special Investigations start asking sensitive questions about Rita's relationship with Robin, even suggesting that the two may have been lovers. Rita is shocked, appalled and extremely angry at the accusation and even more enraged when they suggest that Robin may have been crooked after $600,000 in evidence money turns up missing. Left high and dry and with no one else to turn to but Chris, Rita goes on a personal mission through the dark underworld of S&M in an attempt to fight for her rights as a cop and save the reputation of her deceased colleague who may have been murdered because Robin knew the truth behind who really stole the money...and who tried to set her and Rita up.

Yvonne und der Tod

Yvonne und der Tod

Yvonne Gaspers, 37 Jahre alt und ledig, ist seit zehn Tagen verschwunden. Sie arbeitet als Steuerprüferin beim Finanzamt, auch dort wundert man sich, wo sie steckt. Ihre Schwester alarmiert die Polizei Mönchengladbach. Lee Sooyoung von der Vermisstenstelle nimmt sich der Meldung an. Überraschenderweise findet sie Ingo Thiels Visitenkarte in der Manteltasche der Vermissten. Sooyoung zögert nicht lange und ruft den Kollegen hinzu. Er kenne sie, sagt Thiel, aber nur flüchtig. Er sei mit Yvonne auf ein Date gegangen, es sei jedoch bei nur einem Treffen geblieben. Als Thiel in der Wohnung der Vermissten steht, bemerkt er einen flüchtigen, aber dennoch unverwechselbaren Geruch. Sofort ruft er die Spurensicherung hinzu. Und sein Instinkt trügt keineswegs: Hier wurde akribisch und mit Hilfe von Chemikalien geputzt. Für Thiel scheint klar, dass hier jemand die Spuren eines Verbrechens verwischt hat. Trotzdem: Ohne Leiche und entsprechende Indizien fehlen die Voraussetzungen, eine Ermittlungsgruppe zusammenzustellen. Das sehen auch Thiels Kollegen so und werfen ihm vor, in diesem Fall keine emotionale Distanz zu haben. Offensichtlich hat es mindestens ein Abendessen zwischen Thiel und der Vermissten gegeben. Sie haben das Gefühl, ihr Chef verheimliche ihnen etwas, und warnen ihn, sich nicht zu verrennen. Doch er lässt nicht locker, vielleicht ist Yvonne noch am Leben. Entgegen den Mahnungen seines Teams nimmt Thiel die Ermittlungen auf eigene Faust auf. Für ihn ist es längst ein Fall. Und zwar einer, der ihn bis ans Mittelmeer treibt, um Antworten zu finden.
