A long-frozen corpse is painstakingly identified as Hermann Suttner, on police informer whose cover was broken while he posed as money launderer offering to exchanging D-marks about to become worthless after the introduction of the Euro into diamonds. The team traces the murder to jailed bank robbers Jürgen Zoch and Dirk Bolter. When part f the cash loot is found, it points to the kidnappers and murders despite ransom of Dr. Katrin Stoll's kid brother Konstantin. Rufus warns his mentor Hendrik that his spot may soon be declared vacant unless he risks spinal surgery.
