She takes a shortcut through a city park - a decision which will add hours to her journey. . . Next morning the police come to question Jeanette about the rape, but in her desparation she has already scoured all traces of the crime away.Chief Inspector Erik Winter and his colleagues are reminded of a rape and murder case which remains unsolved after five years.
