Inspector Pieter Van In is begrudgingly finishing up a healthy lunch when he hears the news: While moving into a restored farmhouse a family has found a skeleton in the backyard. Now married to the deputy public prosecutor Hannelore Martens Van In is determined to solve the case in double-quick time and squeeze in one last vacation before their first child is born. But this murder is trickier than it looks and Van In soon finds himself in murky waters. The Vermasts land previously belonged to Lodewijk Vandaele the owner of what used to be one of the largest contractor companies in West Flanders before it was suddenly handed over to a right-wing charity. The heavily endowed foundation appears to have no expenditures or investments. So whos financing it--and why?Before he knows it Van In finds himself in the middle of a complex web--one that involves high-level officials and law enforcement as much as common thugs. The more determined Van In becomes to unravel the thread the harder it gets to discover the secret hidden by powerful benefactors. This time Van In will risk lives to find out the truth.
