Drawn into the depths?

A wealthy factory owner goes missing. His trail is lost at Lake Mummel, after an evening at a mountain hotel. Has he been swallowed by the dark waters of the Black Forest? Has he been pulled into the depths by a powerful whirlpool, down into the realm of the lake damsels? Has old Nix taken him down to the bottom of the lake, to his palace, shell-covered and
reeded?

But why is an expensive jacket hanging on the shore? Full of blood and with a hole in the back? Is the industrialist dead? Shot on the dark lake? What secret surrounds him?

Marie Schwarz and Gottfried Wald, the investigators of the "Schwarzwald Investigation Group", come across leads that reach into the highest circles. Public attention must be avoided at all costs. At night, divers search for the missing man in the unfathomable waters of Lake Mummel.

Then the investigators themselves get into the greatest danger ...
