The official synopsis for the first episode in this new three-part series says: \u201cThe Dutch detective Piet Van der Valk (Marc Warren) 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 \u2018X\u2019 carved into her stomach and a cryptic note inside her coat.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs rookie cop Job Cloovers returns to duty, even Van der Valk is quietly relieved at his arrival \u2013\u00a0if anyone can help riddle out these puzzling notes, it is Job. It is within Susie\u2019s 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 \u2013\u00a0the windfarm where her body was discovered was where the group were due to be relocated.<\/p>\n

\u201cWas 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
