Der Urbino-Krimi

SINOPSIS

It's time for the harvest again in Marche. Poliziotto Rossi also goes to his olive grove. There he finds the body of Prof. Saltari under a tree. Malpomena del Vecchio's death comes as a shock: for many years the respected forensic doctor was a mentor for her. The traces at the place where they were found give the two puzzles: As if the corpse had still walked around, they find unusual shoe prints there. That is scary to the superstitious patrolman. The story of tramp Luigi makes him shudder: He claims to have been run over by the legendary golem on the night of the crime. Mystical rumors quickly make the rounds in the village, where everything revolves around the current prices of the oil mill operator Piedro at this time of the year. Comandante Cottelli does not believe in the supernatural but rather suspects the Camorra behind the matter. Finally, Saltari testified against them. While the Poliziotto is investigating with a bad feeling in his stomach, the next bad news comes: His brother Osvaldo has disappeared without a trace, he had recently explored the ancient catacombs under the city with Prof. Saltari. But the traces so far don't really reveal anything. Ironically, the annoying inspector a. D. Thilo Gruber, moved from Germany, and an old painting put Rossi on the right track.
