Mord mit Aussicht

So much for water under the bridge - Sophie has now embarked on an affair with veterinarian Kauth after all, which doesn't only have its advantages. For example, she has to assist in the birth of twin calves before she goes on duty, which is more upsetting to her than the sight of a corpse. When vintner Hubert Kreuzberg leads the officers to a small dead body lying in the middle of his vineyard, the horrified officers initially believe it is a child. But it is the diminutive thief and fence Arno Hümmel, who was released from prison only two days ago. What brought him to the Eifel and to Kreuzberg's vineyard? And who maltreated his little skull with a big bottle of red wine? During their investigations, the officers quickly come across a legendary bottle of Spätburgunder vintage 1959, the "Dernfelder Schieferchen", which was allegedly signed by Kennedy and is considered lost. Was this dream of every wine lover and collector the reason why Hümmel came to the Eifel? And what about Kreuzberg? Does he know more about the whereabouts of the "little slate" and the murder than he admits? And - last but not least and without relevance to the case - could Kauth be the man for life? The village, above all Heike, discusses the latter with fervor, and has the answer ready: yes! But does Sophie see it that way, too?
