Overview

Fuhrmann's colleague Dr. Wehninger has abducted her deceased father from the pathology department to her home in order to prevent an autopsy, and it is only with great difficulty that Fuhrmann manages to persuade her to turn back. But it's not that easy to get to the hospital with a dead body without being recognized. Fuhrmann himself remains stubbornly confrontational, especially when it comes to Dr. Böck, and even more so since it turns out that Böck and Fuhrmann's ex-wife are expecting a child together. Assistant Dr. Winkler encounters unexpected difficulties when he discovers that the prosector's assistant and the mortician are engaged in a lively trade in corneas from deceased patients. They are not about to let this business go to waste without a fight.
