A serial killer – a traumatised forensic psychologist – a young, unconventional investigator – and a derelict hotel, whose rooms bear witness to horrific events…
Forensic psychologist Simon Dorn has retired following one tragedy too many, and taken up residence in the disused Hotel Dornwald in the mountains near Salzburg. There, he is continuing the investigations that won’t let him go.
Room by room, he has transformed the hotel into a museum of unsolved cases. His only connection to the outside world is Karla Hofbauer from the Vienna cold case team.
When Hofbauer is murdered in Hamburg, everything points to a serial killer. Young police detective Lea Wagner follows Hofbauer’s trail to Austria, and intrudes on Dorn’s solitude. But Dorn and Wagner soon join forces to hunt a killer who knows no bounds.
