Baffling Violence

An international team of experts successfully uncovers those questions that have remained unanswered for centuries: Why were dozens of inhabitants of a fortified castle murdered but no valuables stolen? Why was the man from Eisenberg executed so brutally? Did Tutankhamun die of an accident, an illness or was it murder after all?
Cases with Grave Consequences

It deals with the death on the cross of a Jewish itinerant preacher, the oldest known murder case in human history and the high treason of Arminius, which led to the legendary Varus Battle. Modern forensics and experimental archaeology provide new answers to long forgotten questions: Did Jesus really die on the cross? Who killed Neanderthal Shanidar 3? How did it come about that Arminius defected to the Germanic tribes?
Conspiracy and Revenge

The search for the perpetrators also provides answers to the crime: What were the last hours of Ötzi's life like? Was the murder of Philip II really just the act of a jealous lone perpetrator? Did the assassination attempt on the Chinese king really happen as the court chronicles report?
