The clock relentlessly ticks at the Department of Crime Deterrence, a special unit of the Berlin Police. Time is their worst enemy. When conventional methods of crime fighting fail, it is they that spring into action, psychological warfare their specialty.

Their job is to peel back the layers of the criminal mind to expose his next action… before it even takes place. Four highly trained detectives, equipped with the latest technology and psychological strategies, are faced with the challenge of preventing horrible crimes. Heading the team is Mathias Berg, who although obsessed with his job and extremely experienced, also possesses an unexpected sensitivity.



He works hand in hand with the brilliant, attractive but sometimes difficult psychologist Nina Ritter and the young Birger Neuhaus, whose excellent research provides the most vital information on every case. Schmidt, the team’s scientist, is Birger’s most important ally.






The cases are extremely daunting… and dangerous. Like a highly intelligent woman who kidnaps her husband’s ex-girlfriend, straps a bomb to her victim’s waist and threatens to detonate it. Or a violent criminal escapes from prison just to revenge himself on the lawyer that had betrayed him…






For these heroic crime fighters, time is always running out in their continual battle for justice. The race to prevent the next horrific crime is on…
