The twelfth case for investigator Georg Dengler exposes the ruthlessness of modern capitalism.

In the snowy expanse north of Berlin, a prominent global tech billionaire known as MEGA1 operates a massive electric vehicle factory. While the billionaire dreams of interstellar travel and unhindered technological disruption, the grim reality on the ground resembles the darkest days of the industrial revolution. When workers try to unionize and a lifeless body is discovered crushed inside a heavy car body press, private investigator Georg Dengler is drawn into the case. His search for answers intersects with his partner Olga’s dangerous investigation into a family secret in Romania, leading them directly into a toxic web of corporate greed, political collusion, and systemic environmental neglect.
