Der Staatsanwalt: Ritt in den Tod

SYNOPSIS

After her only champion horse returns to the stud farm stable alone, with blood stain, owner Gerlach's corpse is found in the forest, skull-smashed after a tree branch knocked her off, but not fatally. The training and veterinary treatment of the prize stud, possibly for cheating purposes, remains a matter of dispute on the stud farm. The devoted stable master also acts as second father for the fresh widower Justus Gerlach's son Martin, who acts seemingly indifferent but actually rebellious, uncooperative with Reuter's team, and seems to turn an both father figures while Reuter digs into the family's darkest secrets.
