This was an interesting read. It takes you back to the time when the WWI broke out. However, this event has only marginally something to do with the plot.
The story takes place in Munich, which is still a kingdom. Commissioner Reitmeyer has to clear up the death of a young man. At first it seems that he fell drunk and froze to death on the banks of the Isar. Reitmeyer doubts it. Thanks to an old childhood friend who is currently working in patology, he learns that this man was murdered. Soon there was a second dead man, who was also murdered. Reitmeyer begins to get to the bottom of the matter and realizes that it is about blackmail on a large scale. Photos of homosexual acts circulate among the officers of the royal bodyguard and the rich and aristocratic fathers are blackmailed.
Reitmeyer receives no support from his superiors, since the officers are a taboo subject and are only subordinate to the military, so that the civilian police may not carry out any investigations. Reitmeyer's team includes a young police inspector who is ahead of his time when it comes to investigations, supports Reitmeyer and puts himself in danger.
