Batic - 39 - Vorstadtballade
"Vorstadtballade" portrays the Munich slaughterhouse district in the southwest of the city with its traditional restaurants and its old Munich atmosphere. Simon Schwendtner and his fiancee Burgi Wiese from Lower Bavaria enjoy an operetta evening in Munich. After the performance, they seek shelter from the sudden thunderstorm in landlord Adi Duswald's slaughterhouse pub. Gundi, the young waiter, is just finishing work. The hard-drinking regulars around Xaver Ostler Feri Schegger and Hermann Ganser held the fort as usual until late at night. Since Simon and Burgi have forgotten how to get to their pension in the foreign city, the regulars' table brothers take care of the shy newcomers.
Months later: Chief inspectors Franz Leitmayr and Ivo Batic are called to Adi Duswald's overcrowded slaughterhouse bar during the live broadcast of a soccer game. In the gloomy basement they find a hanged man: Xaver Ostler. Was it suicide? Gundi's mother, Fanny Bichler, was Xaver Ostler's partner for many years. Gundi worries about his mother. Can a jointly committed burglary by the pub trio lead to enlightenment?

Wild Cards
Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
