Der Lissabon-Krimi: Dunkle Spuren

ÖZET

Eduardo Silva, once celebrated public prosecutor, has taken on the defense of factory owner Antonio Alves, who is in custody for allegedly blowing up his own clothing factory in order to collect a high insurance sum. A seamstress was killed in the process. Eduardo meets a deeply desperate man whose only concern is his terminally ill wife Maria. Eduardo recognizes himself in Antonio. He, who has still not got over the loss of his wife, knows exactly what it means to be unable to say goodbye to a loved one. He really wants to enable Antonio to speak to Maria one last time. Eduardo believes in Antonio's innocence. Not so his trainee lawyer Marcia, who looks after the daughter of the dead and for whom Alves is an unscrupulous businessman. It soon turns out that the evidence evaluated by the insurance detective, João Pinto, casts a different light on the explosion. Eduardo and Marcia encounter fake clothing brawls, in which even Marcia's uncle Valdemar has a hand in it. While Eduardo thinks primarily of his client, Marcia wants to know the whole truth. Going it alone, the courageous trainee teacher puts herself in danger.
