Rich investment adviser Patrick Claes is strangely reserved and uncooperative after the robbery of his expensive antique guns collection. The workaholic cares little about his wife Judith Claes-Noordervliet's open promiscuity, all the more about exclusive clients, as their 'privacy' is compromised by the real loot inside the gun cabinet: a CD with his secret accounts if illegal dealings. Later author client Olaf Asselberghs is murdered, Russian mob super client Serov posts his henchman Diego Cardoen who poses as Claes's butler. Judith is missing, actually locked in the atomic shelter, but not as short as his usual punishment for her infidelities. Van In is plagued not only by the noisy twin babies but also by his wife Hannelore, just promoted to supervising magistrate, insisting to stick her nose in at field work, which proves far too dangerous as he warned, not just obnoxious.
