When Paul von Fock, the youngest of three brothers, inherits Sagadi Manor, he struggles to fit into his new role socially – but his brilliance at managing his estate and his keen sense of justice quickly secure him the position of assessor at the local court. Expecting to only solve pub brawls and border disputes, he is wholly unprepared for what awaits him – murder mysteries, fake identities, paintings and cash, and stolen fortunes and futures. Realising that not only his appointment as assessor, but also his reputation and sometimes even his life, are at stake, he admirably rises to the occasion and, with the help and intervention of notorious femme fatale Maria von Nottbeck, succeeds in becoming a seasoned detective. The greatest mystery, however, is Maria herself – but somewhere along the line, she allows von Fock to unravel it.
