White Lightning
A young woman is found dead on the banks of the Elbe River. The autopsy reveals that Lina Hilpert died of an overdose of the new designer drug "White Lightning." She presumably consumed the drug at the trendy club Štestí, just across the Czech border. The WaPo's investigation initially focuses on the members of a drug support group that Lina and her mentally unstable ex-boyfriend Oli belonged to. Is Lina's death the sad end to a relationship drama?
For the group's leader, Marie Liu, the tragedy is primarily further proof of a scandalous failure on the part of the authorities. "White Lightning" is freely available due to a loophole in the law! And then there is Frieder Mertens, a dropout who was apparently in his trailer with Lina before her death. Was she having an affair with him? And why did Lina's ex-boyfriend Oli escape from the psychiatric ward on the day of her death? Little by little, the investigators piece together the mysterious puzzle and ultimately realize that everything was completely different than they thought: perpetrators become victims and victims become perpetrators.
