Plot summary

Eric Vincke and Freddy Verstuyft rank among the best detectives on the Antwerp police force. A top official has disappeared and two prostitutes have been murdered, and the investigation leads toward Angelo Ledda, an aging assassin for organized crime who has agreed to one last contract although he has started showing symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. An experimental drug does not stop his memory from failing, and the disorientation comes and goes while he works. His second target is a twelve-year-old girl, and he refuses to kill her, so the men who hired him turn against him. Vincke and Verstuyft track Ledda, but they stay a step behind him.
