While still unable to make direct contact with Stilton, Olivia decides to go to Nordkoster Island to visit the beach where the murder took place. She becomes intrigued by the presence of a man, alone on this deserted beach, with a rolling suitcase. Who is he and why does he behave so strangely on this particular spot of the island?

Following Olivia’s tenacious efforts, Stilton is made aware that she’s looking for him and much to her dismay, he’s not interested in revisiting the past. He has other problems - one of his friends from the streets has been assaulted and the police don’t have any leads.
