Prologue

There she stood in the queue for the car rental at Frankfurt airport and didn't know whether she should be happy to be back home soon or not. Her name was Isabel Ludebühl and she did not like to leave an unsolved case behind. Just a few hours ago she had been the head of the FBI's New York field office, assisting the New York City Police Department in the investigation of a serial killer. She liked her job and with a medical degree, a psychology degree and a criminology degree, was more than suited for her job. She was a true prodigy with an almost one hundred percent investigation rate. It so happened that she was immediately recruited by the FBI during an advanced training course in the USA. She had been threatened by perpetrators before. But her last case was different, she got mail from the perpetrator. He accused her of mocking him, of being just a copycat killer, the usual Jack the Ripper wannabe, like many before him. In fact, his murders had great similarities with those of the English serial killer. However, she had never mentioned this in public. What in combination with the fact that the killer had now already tracked down her apartment three times. She had moved three times in the last two months, yet the killer had already located her apartment three times. Each time it took only a few days and she had mail from the killer and a few times miniature vials of the victims' blood, which were then always in the refrigerator. It had to be assumed that there was an enemy in their own ranks, moreover, they found bugs in all apartments, as well as at her workplace, she was also bugged. However, it was not possible to say where the enemy was, was he from the Police Department, where she had her permanent workplace or was he from the FBI in both cases dozens of people could be in question. The FBI command staff in Washington thought it best to get her out of the country first.  It took only a few phone calls to get her a temporary job with the LKA in Stuttgart, which was not surprising given her record and training.  She could have gone to the BKA or any other LKA without any problems. But if she had to go, then she had to go to her old home.

Homecoming

There she was, still a bit lost in thought, when her name was finally called. Her rental car was ready, a Volvo S90 with everything a car fan could dream of. A short handover and she was already on the way in the direction of home. Up the A3 in the direction of Würzburg to the Aschaffenburg exit, then onto the Kraftfahrstraße in the direction of Amorbach, in her youth this stretch was known as the "Long Towel", she didn't know if that was still the case, but already she noticed that there had been some changes since she left 20 years ago.  The motor road was now longer and the breaks that used to be there were now closed.  Also the road between Amorbach and Mudau was now well developed. But something was still different, already since she had passed Obernburg she noticed that something was missing on the horizon, but only when she was a few meters before Mudau she looked to the right in the direction of Donebach and a cold shiver ran down her spine, the towers were gone.  The transmission towers in Donebach, miracle of technology the secret landmarks of Mudau. Sure she expected some changes, but she would never have expected that. She was looking forward to her apartment, she didn't want to go to a pension or a hotel, but the LKA managed to rent an apartment for her in an old Mudau house.  The Waldbauernhaus, the first house on the left side of Neuhofstraße. If you drive in Mudau in the direction of Schloßau, you go directly to it.  In her youth she visited friends who lived there several times, so she knew the house. She herself lived at that time in the Pfarrer Ackermann Str. in a typical "new home house" as they often existed in the past.  She wanted to spend the next few days looking around the town, finding out what was new and what was still the way she remembered it. She had been given a few more days off, and if she was honest with herself, she needed the time. Not because she was afraid of the perpetrator, she didn't want to and couldn't believe it was a colleague.
