In the parking lot of the Reeuwijkse Lakes, the lifeless body of Willem van der Region was found in the back of a pickup truck. The man had been charged for life because he had been involved in the importation of consignment marijuana for the Moroccans. Detective Rus van Sint Annaland and his young assistant, Elza de la Fontaine, face the almost impossible task of unmasking the culprit to this bizarre crime.
