After a second murder victim turns up at Lover's Lane, investigators wrongly think it's the same perpetrator. But Reyka knows the missing shoes link the killings.
Speelman slips through Reyka's fingers, but has to seek refuge in the harbour underworld. In the meantime, Reyka draws links between the cobber shop and Lover's Lane murders, but struggles to unlock the killer's identity.
Reyka is caught between helping Jodie find her mother, issues with Elsa, and connecting the dots in her murky past. Speelman assumes a false identity and tries to flee the country. In addition, Tanner makes a horrifying discovery.
A brutal murder in Lovers' Lane leads Reyka to become interested in prostitution and track down Jodie's mother; Speelman persuades Jodie to join him on the boat and prepares to leave the country for Scotland.
