Ballauf - 34 - Pechmarie
"Gas on!" is the unmistakable command. When the medical examiner Dr. Joseph Roth is about to leave the crime scene when he feels the barrel of a pistol on his temple. The man in the back seat of his car means business. Two masked men had robbed and shot a jeweler in the parking lot of a luxury hotel in Cologne. One of the two perpetrators is now in Roth's car. At this point, inspectors Max Ballauf and Freddy Schenk had no idea that their colleague was kidnapped. They are already achieving their first search successes. The couple Heiner Wolff and Marie Menke are urgent suspects. On the video of the hotel's surveillance camera, the youngReceptionist Julia Hirsch recognized her two vacation friends. She had casually told them about the regular guest with the valuable luggage.
Are the stolen gems already in circulation? Ballauf and Schenk listen to the fence scene and investigate the suspects' surroundings. They meet Marie's older sister Sophie Menke, a professional musician who has just returned from a long stay in the USA. But there was radio silence between the two sisters for years.

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.
