This tour, in which real criminal cases are traced, does not go back to the Middle Ages for once, but to Ulm and Neu-Ulm in the 70s and 90s. When the Münsterplatz was still a car park, the Americans still organised the nightlife (and danced to Milli Vanilli) and the twin cities had to deal with the drug scene and the phenomenon of the skinhead scene. Within the well-chosen criminal cases, the perspective is repeatedly changed in order to immerse the reader in the time and the events as well as possible. This tour therefore goes far beyond the individual murder cases and also allows us to trace the respective time and society.
