Summary
It's a new season - Moser has a haircut, the office has a paint-job and Stocki has yet to be replaced. Moser and Rex are called in to investigate the murder of a young drag-racer. The suspects include the man's girlfriend and the elusive Christian Shuh. Both of them have a motive but the more Moser investigates, the more suspiscious Shuh seems.

The good
Heinz Weixelbraun as Christian Shuh was very cool and collected. Nice to see him and Moser facing off. The plot was good and kept me guessing. The car races were fast and exciting to watch.

The bad
The only bad thing I can think of has to do with Shuh's actions in the finale - but I can't rant here since it would spoil the episode for anybody who hasn't seen it yet.
