Much of the last part of the book deals with the political wrangling surrounding the 1979-1980 bailout by the federal government, which would have echoes in the 2009 bailout of General Motors.

Die bulgarische Mafia, der israelische Geheimdienst Mossad, ein Heilpraktiker der das Wetter machen kann und deshalb das erste von mehreren Mordopfern abgibt. All das passiert am Kaiserstuhl, in Freiburg und vor allem in Bötzingen. Nicht immer schlüssig, aber flott erzählt mit treffenden Erkenntissen zur Kaiserstühler Mentalität.
