Matthias Hegel ist forensischer Phonetiker und der beste Audio-Profiler Deutschlands. Er ist imstande, nur anhand von Tönen, Geräuschen, Dialekten und Stimmfarben ein psychologisches und optisches Profil von Menschen zu erstellen. Dank ihm sitzen einige der gefährlichsten Straftäter im Gefängnis. Erpresser, Geiselnehmer, Attentäter, von denen die Ermittler oftmals nur kurze Audiomitschnitte hatten. Hegel ist faszinierend, charismatisch, schwer durchschaubar. Und: Er sitzt in Einzelhaft. Vor einem Jahr hat er eine obdachlose Frau bestialisch ermordet.

The discovery of a stolen red monoplane on the dry flat bottom of Emu Lake meant many things for different folks. For Elizabeth Nettlefold, the chance to nurse its strangely ill passenger meant renewed purpose in life. For Dr. Knowles, brilliant physician and town drunk, it meant the revival of a romantic dream. For some it meant a murder plan gone awry, and for Bonaparte, it meant one of the toughest cases of his career.
