But the quick arrest of the man's former partner in the face of damning evidence promises a quick resolution to the case.

When another girl is abducted and her bloody fingernails mailed to the police, tongues begin to loosen. ...Van Veeteren Collection Vol. 1 (3 Films) - 2-DVD Set ( Borkmanns punkt / Münsters fall / Moreno & tystnaden )
