Four years ago, a bullet in the thigh destroyed Alexander Hinkel's chances of becoming a police captain. But that didn't do anything to his ability to see through a suspect's lies. On the contrary, his instincts and observations are sharper than ever. That's why his ex-colleagues still come knocking on Hinkel's door when they get stuck with investigations. In the city of Agrippa, where crime is rife, there are currently more unsolved murders than the police can handle, and Hinkel earns good money from freelance detective work. He has only one condition: He works alone.
The body of an Olympic swimmer is found in Agrippa's public swimming pool. But how does a fish in the water drown? The police are at their wit's end, and Hinkel is called in to investigate the case. This time, however, even he has to admit that this may be a riddle that will remain unsolved. Until he swallows his pride and goes to ask Janke Lofstat's help. After all, she's good with riddles...
