In a tranquil village, the two students Kerstin and Selina disappear one after the other. Both are 16, have unstable parents and were undergoing therapy at the “Herzland” riding stable. While the residents don't believe there was a crime, Julia Durant suspects the kidnapper is among them.

It is a horrifying sight when the officials arrive at the Old Main Bridge in Frankfurt: there, hanging on a rope tied in a butterfly knot, is the corpse of a woman anointed in rose oil. This macabre handwriting immediately reminds Julia Durant of the serial killer Dietmar Gernot, whom she put behind bars years ago. Has he possibly found a copycat and who will the perpetrator target next?
