In court and on the football field, it's all about winning. But at what cost?
Criminal defense attorney Anton Pirlo has barely recovered from his last case when his brother Ahmid surprises him with a new business idea: He wants to transition into being a football agent and has already discovered a 16-year-old top talent at Eintracht Düsseldorf who wishes to be represented by him. However, for a professional appearance, he needs Pirlo by his side. As Pirlo and his partner Sophie Mahler's law firm is facing economic difficulties, they agree to Ahmid's proposal. But when Eintracht Düsseldorf's club manager is found dead shortly after Pirlo's initial visit, Pirlo suddenly finds himself under suspicion of murder. While trying to prove his innocence, Pirlo and Sophie realize that the business of young football talents is not always morally sound.
"'Double Play' is a page-turner par excellence. [...] The dialogues in the Pirlo Mahler books are an absolute delight, full of wit and wordplay." - ntv.de, Solveig Bach
