Frankfurt's criminals had better think twice before carrying out their evil deeds. For they know they'll have to face an opponent who can instill fear in the most hardened criminal: Lea Sommer. The diminutive police inspector has eyes that can read the fear on the face of the smuggest thug and a mind that can retrace a killer's cleverest moves like a master chess player. Lea Sommer is mature, attractive, aware of her femininity in a natural, unprovocative way. Her chief assets are her analytical mind coupled with sensitivity. As a mother, she can feel the fears of a son or daughter unwilling to betray a parent. As a woman, she can commiserate with a spurned wife or mistress - and she knows that revenge is an all too understandable solution… Aided by her frisky young assistant Jan and her reliable Man Friday Henning, Lea approaches every case with unflagging commitment and, if need be, revolver in hand. Honored with the 'Telestar', a prestigious television award, for her role as Inspector Lea Sommer, Hannelore Elsner has set standards for her intelligent and moving portrayal of a successful policewoman.
