Synopsis

Spoiler shield

A man is raping women after having met them through ads on public noticeboards. At first this seems like an easy crime to solve for Martin Beck and his colleagues but they soon discover that somebody's motivations are far more complex.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
