WaPo Berlin

Holidays at last! Together with Makoye, Wolf repairs the roof of his beloved pergola with its views over the Havel. But then, right in front of his allotment colony, building constructor Oswald Renger floats by in the water - dead. Murdered, as Jasmin and her team soon discover. Was he at the wrong place at the wrong time and became the victim of a junkie attack? Whatever, he doesn't seem to have had any enemies. Or did he? Wolf is horrified when it turns out that Oswald Renger, the deceased, has just recently not only become the new owner of his garden colony, but was also determined to demolish sections of this paradise in the middle of the sprawling city. Did the two chairpersons of the allotment colony, Lisa Franke and Ulrike Messmer know about this? Would allotment gardeners resort to murder, just to save their idyllic colony? Or is everything less idyllic than one thinks? After all, Ulrike Messmer's friend disappeared under strange circumstances some time ago and off the record, everyone in the colony talks of the odd hill behind the clubhouse. Wolf is of course right, when he says that there is a hill like this in every allotment colony and that people's imagination often plays tricks on them. But why did Oswald Renger want to begin building at exactly this spot?
