A murder in Frankfurt’s Westend district, a confessed perpetrator with no motive, a powerful energy corporation – and a headstrong, old-school investigator. Falsche Versprechen is a gripping case for detective Uwe Fähndrich.
A management consultant is found shot dead in his villa. Uwe Fähndrich has a body and a confession –yet the pieces just don’t add up. Then his investigation leads him to the victim’s employer: Liquid Lights, an energy giant and pioneer in the production of hydrogen, long under fire for its questionable business practices. And the company is currently hosting a hydrogen summit in Frankfurt.
Sensing a connection, Fähndrich teams up with public prosecutor Greta Vogelsang. Together, they realize that the case is much bigger than they thought – reaching deep into the back rooms of power. When an attempt is made on the alleged killer’s life in prison, the situation comes to a dramatic head – and Fähndrich must decide how far he’s willing to go to solve this case.
