A woman found strangled in a Brussels furniture shop stockroom is identified as an ex-employed rural housewife, reported missing by her husband, Rudy Burgraeve. He refuses to question her whereabouts, even when forensics finds proof she recently had sex and a champagne dinner. Her shopping buddy Marleen De Kimpe helps the team digging into family secrets, and turns out to have been her 'colleague' in Etienne Helon's escort service. Finally son Benny, a law-student living generously in a Brussels apartment, features in more surprises.
