Eine tote Kollegin im Seziersaal der Anatomie: Rechtsmediziner Professor Karl-Friedrich Boerne ist schockiert. Die im Präparationskurs von Professor Gregor Härtling entdeckte Leiche ist Amélie Blanc. Noch bis vor einigen Wochen arbeitete die französische Chemikerin als Hospitantin bei einer angesehenen Forschergruppe der Münsteraner Universität. Da die Leiche professionell konserviert wurde, vermutet Frank Thiel den Täter im Institutsumfeld. Er veranlasst eine DNA-Analyse für alle wichtigen Mitarbeiter des Instituts von Prof. Härtling einschließlich des Professors selbst. Diese Untersuchung ist Prof. Boerne sehr unangenehm, schließlich sind die Härtlings freundschaftlich mit ihm und seiner Mutter verbunden. Auch die übrigen Kollegen wie Carla Hanke und Dr. Schroth sind anerkannte Wissenschaftler. Was könnte sie zu einem Mord an dem attraktiven Gast von der Pariser Sorbonne veranlasst haben? War Eifersucht im Spiel?
