'You're in for a treat' COSMOPOLITAN
A woman, Elsa, is brutally murdered in her Amsterdam apartment.
Her ex-lover, Martin, is seen outside the building around the time of the crime.

Instead of charging him, Van der Valk takes him on a tour:
a tour of the investigation; a tour of Martin's own past; and a tour into the darkly obsessive world of Elsa...
