Description
A longtime employee of a German engineering firm, Jupp swipes company cigars, harasses the secretary, berates the laborers, and passes the buck whenever possible. His personal life is a mess, too. Jupp visits hookers on the way home, drinks to excess, and shuts out his emotionally needy wife in favor of a beloved cat. But when firm heiress Erika Wallmann dies after taking an improbable tumble at her lake house, Jupp takes a step on the unfamiliar path to redemption by setting out to finger her husband for murder. Sure, his investigation is driven by bitterness and self-interest, but Jupp soon develops a plausible theory of the crime, which he methodically tests out between schnapps binges. The question is, Will he become an unlikely hero or find himself drawn too far into the mind of a killer?
