Following local custom after a wedding, bride Maja is "abducted" by a team of friends and placed blindfolded in a small boat. Her groom is then dispatched to find her in a rowboat, but he discovers her murdered and propped against a tree. Her veil and ring are missing. Various suspects seem possible, including a young couple who form a society to prevent the killing of a flock of cormorants that next next to the lake, and a fisherman whom the couple suspects of being the bird's killer. Jule, the young woman suspect has a history of violence and a past sentence for murder as a minor. Zeiler finds her father's life jacket in a collection of items retrieved from the lake and preserved by Maja's mother in remembrance of Maja's twin brother, who was drowned as an infant during a storm. The fisherman, Meinert, dies when Oberlander visits his house. He fires his shotgun at the wall, and the recoil apparently causes him to tumble backwards down a flight of stairs and a broken neck. Items found in his house eventually point towards the reason for Maja's murder and the actual killer. Oberlander reconciles with Kim .

The dead body of a woman is found in a hops field - presented by the perpetrator hanging in a spider web on a seven meter high scaffold. It is not the first case of this kind: apparently Jutta Reike is the fourth victim of a serial killer. Micha Oberländer and Hannah Zeiler find out that the victim doesn't correspond physically to the pattern of the other homicides. Is this the crime of a copycat? When a swimmer is run over brutally by a motorboat on the lake, a surprise is awaiting Zeiler and Oberländer: they find evidence in the car of the victim Dietrich Falkner, that he might be the sought-after serial killer. During a house search trophies of the four victims are found. Everything seems to fit, until Zeiler and Oberländer find out that the trophies of the fourth victim are false. Now it is obvious: there must be a second murderer, who not only killed Dietrich Falkner.
