Il commissario Van Veeteren, ispettore capo della polizia di Maardam, è finalmente a riposo e non ha intenzione di tornare a fare il detective: il nuovo lavoro alla libreria antiquaria Krantze e la relazione con Ulrike sono la sua occupazione a tempo pieno. Non può però sottrarsi alla richiesta di aiuto del sovrintendente Münster, che per anni è stato il suo fido braccio destro. Lui e i suoi colleghi sono impantanati in un caso che li sta mettendo in seria difficoltà: Waldemar Leverkuhn, pensionato e dalla vita in apparenza irreprensibile, una notte viene trovato accoltellato nel suo letto.

Questo audiolibro si apre con una telefonata. Come sempre, si tratta di lavoro e la vacanza di Van Veeteren finisce senza che il commissario possa godersi la malinconia degli ultimi giorni.

Le vittime diventano tali a distanza di pochi giorni e non si somigliano: uno è un piccolo spacciatore, l'altro un ricco imprenditore.
