His colleague Eva Klaussner and their superior, Director of Criminal Investigation Henning Peters from the Hamburg homicide squad, were also part of the team.

Writers of the individual episodes received contributions from authors including Eva and Volker A. Zahn, Johannes Dräxler, Remy Eyssen, and Eva and Horst Kummeth. To ensure a diverse range of perspectives, various directors were involved in the creation of different episodes. The series consisted of a total of five seasons, each comprising six episodes, except for the final season which had five episodes. These episodes were produced and aired on ZDF.
