Synopsis: Der Reiter

Detective Edison Schlegelhauf isn't homosexual; he tells himself so every day. His bigoted boss can think whatever he likes, but awkward Edison merely 'admires' his über-sophisticated friend Misha. Unfortunately, Misha is dating a gorgeous female journalist, and Edison's mother is busily trying to arrange a blind date for the timid detective with a neighbor's daughter.

He'd love to have the time to worry about that, but he has bigger things on his plate. A serial killer is butchering pregnant women, and if he doesn't solve the case he'll be off the force. After his failure on a previous assignment, his homophobic boss has completely lost patience with the clumsy, stuttering detective. The killer appears to be more than just an ordinary murderer, however, and apparently has connections to Edison's great uncle, a convicted Nazi war criminal in World War II.
