Palu - 16 - Veras Waffen
Only a year ago, the famous opinion researcher and PR strategist Vera Maxheimer settled her institute in Saarbrücken, not least at the gentle urging of her old friend and fellow student Marion von Pahl, an entrepreneur worth millions. For Vera, the grande dame of German opinion polls, the circle closes: because the brilliant scientist grew up in Saarland, the child from the humblest of circumstances also began her studies in Saarbrücken. In Vera's institute, politicians and business bosses, church leaders and trade union officials hand in hand. The analyzes of the demoscop are considered the best in the industry. But there is a tiny black spot in Vera Maxheimer's past.
As a student, she worked for a few weeks as a call girl in a posh brothel near Saarbrücken. Now, 35 years later, small film recordings from that time are emerging. A student tasked with gathering material for a biography of Vera Maxheimer is murdered. Shortly thereafterbegins an extortion. A second murder occurs... Chief Inspector Max Palu from the Saarbrücken Criminal Police Office begins his investigations. He quickly finds out that old, blurry pornographic images are not the demoscop's problem. In the short weeks that Vera Maxheimer was working in the sex business, the head of the establishment disappeared without a trace - presumably the victim of a murder that has not yet been solved. Does Vera Maxheimer have anything to do with this case? Palu investigates in the demimonde of his hometown, but also in the environment of Vera Maxheimer.
In doing so, he has to realize that behind the scenes at the Maxheimer Institute, a power struggle over the successor to the boss has already broken out: what role does her ambitious daughter Anette play, how loyal is the managing director Ernst Wohlfahrt, what does her old friend and fellow student Marion von Pahl know ? Little by little, Palu uncovers the true secret of Vera Maxheimer. It's in the political milieu. It's about manipulated numbers, about maintaining power at any price...

The Ministry of Time
The Ministry of Time, a newly established government department, is gathering ‘expats' from across history in an experiment to test the viability of time-travel. Commander Graham Gore (an officer on Sir John Franklin's doomed 1845 Arctic expedition) is one such figure rescued from certain death – alongside an army captain from the fields of the Somme, a plague victim from the 1600s, a widow from revolutionary France, and a soldier from the seventeenth century.
The expats are placed with 21st century liaisons, known as 'bridges', in unlikely flatshares. Gore has to learn about contemporary life from scratch: from air travel to industrial warfare, from feminism to Spotify, from cinema to indoor plumbing; and he must negotiate cohabiting with the ambitious modern woman who works as his bridge. After an awkward beginning, the pair start to find pleasure and comfort in each other's company, developing a relationship that is simultaneously tender, intense and profoundly unprofessional; and the expats, adrift in a new era, form friendships that ground and support them in the lonely 21st century, where they have outlived everyone they ever knew and loved.
When a deeper conspiracy at the Ministry begins to reveal itself, the bridge must reckon with what she does next. Will she save or sacrifice the exiled misfits she has come to care for so deeply?
