The Case of the Unshod Corpse

Nick Baumgarten's team at full complement again with Pino Beltrametti on board sees itself confronted with the violent death of a professor. As usual the investigators are called on to struggle on several fronts at once: the campus of the Brugg-Windisch University of Applied Sciences where they must cut through a thicket of intrigues rivalries and a love affair; internally where District Attorney Cécile Dumont picks apart their theories and insists on solid evidence; and in the local press where journalist Steff Schwager tortured by jealousy vents his spleen. It helps that Nick Baumgarten has at least found happiness in his private life.
