Der Usedom-Krimi: Strandgut

SINOPSIS

There are still tons of ammunition from the Second World War on the seabed off Usedom. Especially in autumn, when storms sweep over Usedom, white phosphorus is often washed up on the beach. At first glance, the lumps look like amber. However, they are extremely dangerous because the material ignites easily and can hardly be extinguished. Ten-year-old Ada Harms is a withdrawn, melancholy girl who hardly has any friends. Ada has created a small refuge for her treasures in an abandoned hut near the beach. Ada loves to wander along the beach in search of all sorts of flotsam. Karin Lossow knows about the little ones' passion for collecting. To protect Ada, she regularly searches the beach for lumps of phosphorus herself. Ada's father Raik Harms has specialized in the recovery of ordnance. However, his company has got into difficult waters because he has lost an important tender. A competitor from Denmark won the bid. Raik is mad. He believes that the Danes have prevailed with dumping prices. In his local pub, he went drunk with a pocket knife at team leader Morten Olsen and injured him slightly. Raik asks Karin Lossow for support from public prosecutor Dr. Brunner. When a female corpse washes up on the beach in front of Heringsdorf, Commissioner Ellen Norgaard is extremely worried: Could the dead woman be her mother, whom she has been looking for in vain for years?
