Der Bozen-Krimi: Die Todsünde

ÖZET

When "Capo" Sonja Schwarz finds a carefully discarded newborn on her doorstep in the morning and shortly afterwards the body of a young woman is discovered, an unusual criminal case begins. A DNA sample provides the sad certainty that the body is that of the young mother who appeared to have died falling off a mountain cliff. Sonja and her partner Jonas encounter shockingly little grief from Theresa Egger's strictly religious parents: Marianne and Josef Egger had rejected their daughter because of the illegitimate pregnancy. Could there be a motive for the crime? Who is the secret father? In order to understand the connections, Sonja sets her sights on the Sutterer community and the charismatic Franz de Billio. The inspector finds his dispute with a prospective priest, whom Sonja observes, just as suspicious as his harshness in dealing with dropouts. She soon begins to recognize conflicts that were fatal to the victim.
