It's about a mysterious killer pictures (!!!), the pictures murdered so destroyed, if he does not get a certain sum.
The result is very well designed and has strong bonds to old episodes, such as the episode 9 "enigmatic images" and Co.
Because images play a supporting lead role - more specifically 13 (the last to be "an image in mortal danger", "murdered" in the last track) piece.
It is also pointed in this episode many people who in the old three ??? Follow often were of the party.
So the two Irish brothers Patrick (come my namesake ;-) and Kenneth, several times in the context of history, especially in front.
To record on, when Justus Jonas upset about the new junkyard force at the beginning because they are not good works ("with Patrick and Kenneth came as what is not before" - so roughly).
Also on the ancient pottery, the "Potter" (then played by Karl-Heinz Gerdes man 1921-1991,) who already in the three ??? 20 "flaming trail" had played an important role is pointed here by name several times.
Also dive "plaster busts" (Bek. From the three ??? "curse of Rubin") on which, the new worker in the junkyard grants.
Also the place "Venice" is mentioned (in track 3), determined there the three ??? already in the episode 37 "secret fence".
The speakers are top notch, especially I was pleased with the appearance of Harald Dietl (* 1933), he has "The men from K 3" played from 1988 to 2001 the chief inspector Karl Feldmann in the great series, furthermore he was with the TKKG 47 Masters to hear 29.
Even with Karin Eckold has again taken a great veteran on board, of the 80 he took part in many old radio drama episodes, such as TKKG 24, Larry Brent 3 etc.
The beginning of the three ??? leaves an advance the hair stand on end, says as Aunt Mathilda that "Mrs. Kretschmer" should be assassinated.
But after 2-3 sentences is clear that a picture of her was meant "only", which had been destroyed with a knife.
The music is a great mix of "orchestral pieces ala Betty George", the music of Jan-Friedrich Conrad (some pieces arrived in the new version of TKKG ago).
Here again are some pieces of 08/15 JP-Morgenstern here, but are limited - thank goodness, because these pieces are never the maturity of "orchestral pieces by Betty George", Jan-Friedrich Conrad, Phil Moss and Carsten Bohn (Master course) can achieve.
An interesting history has this result because ............ ???:
The story was produced in cooperation with the Kunsthalle Bremen, which was dated 15 October 2011 to 26 February 2012 under the title Mystery behind the screen a special exhibition by the Norwegian painter Edvard Munch. In a study in 2005 were found among the paintings, the child and the death of another Munch canvas. It is a hitherto unknown image of Munch, which he is said to have painted about 1898. It is titled girl and three male heads. Based on these events with the picture in picture a fictional story for the three detectives in Rocky Beach was written by the author Kari Erlhoff.
Even that great cover that a "murdered" picture shows ;-) - is very good.
Conclusion: A great, classic drei ??? History, with real background (see above paragraph ;-) that great speakers, our so-called "veterans", as Harald Dietl, Karin Eckhold and Co, some great "orchestral pieces" of Betty and the great music of George J.-F. - Conrad has (except for the pieces of J.-P.- Morgenstern).
A story that is well worth a 2-3 times listening ;-).
