Hannah Mangold & Lucy Palm

Inspector Hannah Mangold returns to her former office after spending a long period in a psychiatric ward. She continues to experience anxiety attacks following an incident in which an escaped inmate shot her daughter Laura's friend in front of her. The attacker had actually intended to kill Hannah. Her previous role as head of the department has since been taken over by her colleague Ulf Habermann. Lucy Palm is the youngest investigator in the department and does not take advice from her colleagues. Initially, she is suspicious of the former head of department, Mangold, who is secretly referred to by her colleagues as "the madwoman." However, the longer she works with Hannah, the more she comes to appreciate her.
