ABOUT THE CHESTNUT MAN: HIDE AND SEEK
Synopsis: A 41-year-old woman is reported missing, and when the police unravel her digital footprints, it becomes evident that she has been stalked for months. An unidentified perpetrator has been playing an involuntary game of hide and seek, surveilling her while sending her not only images and videos but also a seemingly innocent nursery rhyme-style counting song. When the woman is later found murdered, it becomes evident that this case can be linked to a similar, unsolved murder case of a 17-year-old high school student who was found murdered two years ago. But what is the connection between the two victims? And when will the perpetrator begin to "play" hide and seek again?
Mark Hess and Naia Thulin yet again lead the investigation, but the relationship between the two detectives is complicated.
