The medieval abbey, which demonizes everything technical in accordance with the strict rules of its abbot Nicodemus, is famous for its library, which employs renowned translators. Hemmelrath also visits the monastery to have a valuable manuscript from the 15th century, which was recently bequeathed to the church, translated into German by a competent hand. When the bishop hears the monks' confession on this occasion, an anonymous monk confesses that he has killed "on God's orders" - and will do it again. To Hemmelrath's horror, Father Bonifazius, who has recently gone missing, is actually found dead. Concerned about his appointment as cardinal, Hemmelrath is forced to ask Father Braun to solve the case as discreetly as possible. Braun does not let his joy show and sets culinary conditions, which the bishop grudgingly grants. Together with Inspector Geiger, who is smuggled in as a Franciscan on a pilgrimage, Father Braun begins secret investigations. But the amateur criminologist cannot prevent Father Pankraz, another well-known translator, from passing away under strange circumstances. Pankraz's mysterious last words "Nag Hammadi" then put Father Braun on the right track: Bonifazius and Pankraz have translated newly discovered writings from Qumran and Nag Hammadi, which have some explosive power in church politics: According to them, it is not Peter but John who founded the church, which would call the papacy into question. And the murderer wants to prevent this knowledge from leaving the monastery at all costs. Father Braun is in great danger. Written by ADR Das Erste See less
