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. A Kaalbringen, una piccola città non lontana da dove il commissario sta trascorrendo le ferie, si aggira un assassino, che ha già colpito due volte. Le vittime diventano tali a distanza di pochi giorni e non si somigliano: uno è un piccolo spacciatore, l'altro un ricco imprenditore.

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.

Una famiglia modello, gli Hermansson. O quasi. Pochi giorni prima di Natale sono riuniti per festeggiare un centocinquesimo compleanno: i sessantacinque anni di Karl-Erik, padre encomiabile e insegnante in pensione, e i quaranta di Ebba, la sua figlia prediletta. È l'occasione per ritrovare proprio tutti, perfino Robert, la "pecora nera" della famiglia: scrittore mancato (il suo romanzo, L'uomo senza un cane, è da dieci anni in attesa di pubblicazione), è assurto agli onori delle cronache per aver partecipato a un reality show di pessimo gusto, creando non poco imbarazzo ai suoi.

It starts with a drunk man killing a boy as he hits him with his car. Thinking no one has seen him, he feels he's off the hook. Until he receives a message telling him that the sender knows what he's done, and unless he pays him a ransom, to be left in a bag at a secluded men's room, he'll squeal. The killer does as instructed, but as he sees a young man leave with said bag, he then kills the young man.

For Waldemar Leverkuhn, a retiree living with his wife in a small unit in an unassuming block of apartments, the day couldn't begin more auspiciously.

The day ends, however, with Leverkuhn drunk, belligerent, and eventually dead in his bed, stabbed 28 times in the chest. After a cursory investigation, Leverkuhn's quiet, weary wife incredibly confesses to murder.
