The case is difficult to solve, with everyone involved guarding their secrets, regardless of social class.

The newly-structured Beck group faces the blight of a power struggle. And Martin struggles to find his way back to his old self.

An investigative journalist is found beaten to death in his home, where the fingerprints of a notorious criminal debt collector are also found.

When the case takes an unexpected and terrible turn, there is suddenly much more at stake than finding the journalist’s killer. Martin Beck and his colleagues have never had to protect the balance of their professional and private lives with the same tenacity as they do now.
