Fine porcelain can be made into harmless figurines, or sexy artworks. Allmen and Carlos come across a secret hoard of valuable porcelain figures for lovers of explicit erotic depictions. A case that makes them work up quite a sweat because they are not investigating entirely of their own volition: A blackmailing accomplice has them in the palm of his hand.

The Allmen series – over one million copies sold!

The bestselling crime novel series about the gentleman crook Allmen and his assistant Carlos has sold over a million copies in German alone and was first adapted for TV in 2017 by UFA fiction.

In the sixth episode of the stylish series Allmen’s International Enquiries investigates on Ibiza, the Mediterranean island of the super-rich.

An anonymous invitation lures Allmen to an exclusive property in Ibiza. An old man awaits him by a large pond and shows him his valuable many koi. One of the trusting fish – the most valuable one – has disappeared.
Allmen’s International Enquiries receives the brief of finding ›Boy‹, worth almost a million Euro. Allmen and his crew find a way of discreetly accessing the exclusive world of the island’s high society, and gain insight into a peculiar passion for collecting. 

A highly valuable painting of dahlias by Henri Fantin-Latour has been stolen, and Allmen International Inquiries is commissioned to take on the investigation. This is most definitely a case for private investigator Johann Friedrich von Allmen, his assistant Carlos and his captivating life partner María Moreno, who has been enhancing the duo of late – and no less juicy than the two previous cases. The picture was already stolen property before it exchanged unrightful owners. And the old lady in whose possession it was until recently – Dalia Gutbauer, a very rich heiress and owner of a now slightly run-down luxury hotel – has enough money to simply buy a new Fantin-Latour without making a dent in her fortune. So why is she so attached to the picture? It takes Allmen a long time to see the slippery surface he is investigating, dealing with shady crooks as well as his own kind: experts in not having any money, with more demands than means. But there is one thing which is even more dangerous: aging men with young women.

Jonas Brand has no idea about the adventure that awaits him, when the intercity train comes to an abrupt halt. The train is unable to continue because of a dead body on the tracks. Brand immediately shoulders his camera, records the nightmarish events and interviews his fellow passengers. He is a freelance journalist, but one who dreams of bigger things. He wants to make films, and his project ›Montecristo‹, a story of betrayal, deception and late revenge, has blockbuster potential – if only someone would give him a chance. When he falls in love with Marina Ruiz, who charms him into revealing his dream, the project steps back into his focus. Just three months later, fate deals him another bizarre card: two onehundred Swiss Franc notes with identical serial numbers – both of which, as the bank confirms with amazement, are genuine. Then Brand’s apartment is ransacked and he gets beaten up and robbed in broad daylight. Someone clearly wants to throw him off the track that he is just about to embark on.
