Cathrin Blake's neighbor Coner O'Neill is found dead. While Superintendent Sean Kelly assumes a natural death - Coner was over 80 - Cathrin is skeptical, as Coner had shown no signs of frailty so far. At the same time, another male body is found, also over 80. It turns out that both men had contact with the exclusive care home "Eden View". Bridget Howard is a very likeable, warm-hearted woman who is devoted to caring for elderly people without families. Kelly is taken in by the older lady's charm, but Cathrin is suspicious of appearances. Then there is another death at Eden View, and Kelly comes across several unsolved missing persons cases - also linked to Bridget's retirement home. Bridget has plausible explanations for all the incidents, but could it all just be a chain of unfortunate circumstances?
