Ergebnis für "The Baron" in Krimis

Baron Emilio von Ritzfeld-Hechenstein versteht etwas vom Rebensaft, schließlich wuchs er auf einem Weingut auf. Doch seit dem Bankrott des Vaters ist Emilio chronisch pleite – was er nicht zuletzt seiner Vorliebe für die schönen Dinge des Lebens verdankt: guter Wein und gutes Essen! Zum Glück hat Emilio nicht nur einen feinen Gaumen, sondern auch eine ausgezeichnete Beobachtungsgabe: Sein Geld verdient er als Privatdetektiv. Als ihn eine alte Dame bittet, den vermeintlichen Unfalltod ihres Sohnes aufzuklären, überlegt Emilio nicht lange.

Was soll man mit Bunkern aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg anfangen, die nie genutzt wurden? Wein darin einlagern! Baron Emilio hält das für eine gute Idee. Er ist nur allzu gern bereit, die attraktive Fotokünstlerin Tilda Kneissl auf ihren Ausflügen für ein Fotobuch über die Südtiroler Bunkeranlagen zu begleiten – erst recht, wenn ein guter Tropfen dabei herausspringt. Doch dann finden sie in einem Vinschgauer Bunker etwas deutlich weniger Erfreuliches: die mumifizierte Leiche einer jungen Frau.

In einem Weinberg wird die Leiche eines bekannten Winzers gefunden – mit einer Rebschere in der Brust. Emilio von Ritzfeld-Hechenstein interessiert das allerdings wenig.

Also genießt er die Auszeit auf dem Weingut seiner Freundin Phina, flaniert durch Bozen und kehrt in den einschlägigen Weinbars und Buschenschenken ein. Als jedoch Phinas beste Freundin spurlos verschwindet, fühlt sich Emilio in die Pflicht genommen. Er ahnt nicht, worauf er sich einlässt.

Selbst der bekennende Misanthrop Baron Emilio von Ritzfeld-Hechenstein muss zugeben: In Südtirol lässt es sich aushalten! Der Wein ist köstlich, und die lokalen Spezialitäten schmecken vorzüglich.

Ein anonymer Erpresser behauptet, einige Flaschen des vorzüglichen Lagrein im Weinkeller vergiftet zu haben. Da kann Emilio nicht untätig bleiben: Bei Wein versteht der Baron keinen Spaß!
