The Chancellor has been retired for six weeks and has moved to the Uckermark with her husband (and pug!). After a turbulent life in Berlin, however, she finds it difficult to settle down to the quiet country life. Just baking and hiking quickly becomes boring. However, when Baron Philip von Baugenwitz is found poisoned in a castle dungeon that is locked from the inside, Angela is reawakened. Supported by her loving husband and gentle bodyguard Mike, she sets off on a dangerous search for the murderer.
