The Dutch detective is called in to investigate the gruesome murder of Susie De Windt, a solicitor whose mutilated body is discovered strung up on a windfarm with an 'X' carved into her stomach and a cryptic note inside her coat. As rookie cop Job Cloovers returns to duty, even Van Der Valk is quietly relieved at his arrival - if anyone can help riddle out these puzzling notes, it is Job. It is within Susie's case files that the team obtain their first lead. Days previously, she had won a case on behalf of the city to evict a group of artist squatters - the windfarm where her body was discovered was where the group were due to be relocated. Was her murder the squatters getting revenge on the Establishment, is this something bigger, and can Van Der Valk and his team riddle out the notes left at crime scenes before the killer is able to strike again? It is a game of cat-and-mouse, and at its core is a battle for the soul of Amsterdam.

    Payback in Amsterdam

When classical musician and former musical child prodigy Fleur Mas is the victim of an acid attack and subsequently dies, Van Der Valk and his team must question if the intention of this attack was to maim and disfigure or to kill.

The investigation takes an unexpectedly personal turn when Brad and Job interview the victim's partner Femke De Haan, a guest conductor who also happens to be Lucienne's ex. Rehearsing for their annual performance on the canal, the orchestra is raising money for No To Silence, a charity that supports victims of sexual assault and encourages those affected to come forward.
