A phone call rudely interrupts Finn Kiesewetter's recitation of Thomas Mann's "The Buddenbrooks": suspicion of unnatural causes of death. Pierced by a javelin, the young Philip Ahrens, scion of a respected Lübeck industrial family, collapsed in front of his brother Viktor's house. When Finn arrives at the crime scene, the man is already dead. The first clue in the search for clues is the spear, which came from the gymnasium of the Karolineum Gymnasium, where Ahrens was a coach for the annual senior pentathlon. But who there could have an interest in his death? Was it jealousy? Apparently, the dead man had a fling with student Svea Abel. At the very least, her boyfriend Andrej appears highly suspicious during questioning. Or was the victim set up by a creditor? After all, the investigation reveals that Ahrens had massive debts and was addicted to gambling. But his brother Viktor and his wife Xenia also have a motive, as the younger brother stayed out of all the business dealings but needed vast sums of money. Perhaps the school janitor had something to do with it. Which of these suspects was angry and determined enough to impale Philip Ahrens? Written by ADR Das Erste See less
