What it’s about. Strange, rhymed advertisements in the TIMES unsettle three London gangsters - and rightly so, because soon the first of them are killed. The mysterious killer also catches a shady lawyer. Higgins and Lane find out that the key to the crimes is an unsolved diamond heist from jeweler Bolden. It looks like those involved are fighting over the loot. Eventually, it turns out that the "robbery" was actually a set-up insurance scam that Bolden was personally behind and that killed his employee. Shortly before the last survivor is sent to the afterlife, Higgins and Lane are able to confront the "invisible" murderer.
Who’s in it. Die unheimlichen Briefe stars Gunter Berger as Inspektor Higgins, Mariella Ahrens as Barbara Lane, Eddi Arent as Sir John and Rosalind Baffoe as Ann Pattison, among others.
