The main character is private investigator Gerhard Selb.

He is almost 70 years old, but he has retained mental clarity and fairly good physical shape. In addition, Mr. Selb liked young girls, who, in turn, reciprocated him.

When Gerhard was young, he served as a prosecutor in the Third Reich. The protagonist himself does not like to remember this dark fact of his own biography, saying only that he had to do the bidding of his superiors.

During his detective career the representative of the stronger sex solved many cases, namely: he managed to bring to light a beautiful girl, who in fact turned out to be a failed terrorist; Gerhard was able to identify an intruder who caused damage to a chemical plant; Mr. Selb was able to find out the circumstances of the disappearance of a fellow bank manager.
