The police suspect Peter of having something to do with the recent death, which like his brother's 5 years earlier, occurred on October 22nd. He continues his secret investigation, joined by economic crimes analyst Vibeke Haglund, digging deeper into ties with foreign companies, his suspicions deepening that there is a conspiracy of some kind.

Peter and the team from the Evening Times suspect a conspiracy that reaches deep into the corridors of power within finance, politics and media, involving bigger crimes than suicide. But if others are in his brother's situation, they are too afraid to reveal themselves. A mysterious whistle blower has been trying to warn Peter about what happened, and Peter must find him if he is to determine what started everything 25 years earlier.
