The little conservative Drenthe town of Zwinderen is undergoing rapid industrial growth and social upheaval. A series of anonymous poison pen letters has led to two suicides. People are ashamed of the accusations and most are not reporting the letters to the police. It is embarrassing even to discuss the accusations with friends and family, much less admit to outsiders to having read them.
In this repressive atmosphere, Dutch authorities send Van der Valk to investigate, posing as a bureaucrat on a temporary assignment, bringing his wife Arlette with him to lend credence to his story. As he sniffs around trying to identify the culprit, more letter are received and the town tension builds.
