Ehrlicher - 42 - Schlaflos in Weimar

Michael Köster has been in prison for five years and is taking part in a therapy for prisoners led by the Weimar art professor and painter Robert Henze. He escapes during an escorted release to the Leipzig Picture Museum. One of the law enforcement officers is murdered in the elevator. His colleague Peter Vosskamp cannot prevent Köster, who still has to serve six months, from escaping. Because of Vosskamp's statement, Köster is suspected of murder. His fingerprints are also found on the bottle with the neck cut off, which was used to pierce the dead man's throat. In the fugitive's cell, the inspectors find a farewell letter from his girlfriend Judith, who lives in Weimar, and so the inspectors continue their investigations there.
Although Kain succeeds in arresting Köster, doubts about his perpetration soon grow. Ehrlicher uses his stay in Weimar to visit a friend who has settled there as a doctor. He seeks his advice about stitches in the heart area and his insomnia, which has been bothering him for some time. Ehrlicher learns that Prof. Henze's wife in Weimar inherited several houses that still have serious defects even after the restoration. A mysterious murder also takes place in Weimar. The victim is Gabriele Teichert, head of the local monument protection office. Ehrlicher finds out that Ms. Teichert is the mother of Köster's girlfriend. Forensic technology is once again able to secure Michael Köster's fingerprints in the murder victim's apartment.
It is therefore clear that the two murders are connected. The art professor Robert Henze and the prison officer Peter Vosskamp are targeted by the inspectors...
