A body is found hanging on a hook above the canals of Amsterdam's old town, a mobile phone forced into the victim's mouth.

Inspector Jaap Rykel knows that he's hunting a clever and brutal murderer. Still grieving from the violent death of his last partner, Rykel must work alongside a junior out-of-town detective with her own demons to face, if he has any hope of stopping the killer from striking again.

Their investigation reveals two dark truths- everybody in this city harbours secrets - and hearing those secrets comes at a terrible price . . .
