De Zaak Alzheimer

At the same time veteran cops Vincke and Verstuyft is investigating the same case from the other end and has found evidence suggesting that it is part of a cover up involving of some important officials. Soon the cops and the hitman find themselves uneasily paired in the hunt for the most despicable criminals of all: the people forcing pre-teen girls into prostitution.
