With Friedrich on vacation, Søren and Karl team up to crack the case of Dorothy B. Hughes' classic L.A. noir In a Lonely Place. Will the L.A. Police find out who's been strangling women once a month, like clockwork? Will mystery writer Dix Steele outrun his postwar demons and his own loneliness and find happiness with the alluring Laurel Gray? Who has the more outré name, Dix Steele, or his best friend Brub Nicolai? All this and more on this week's exciting episode.

Theme music: "Shostakovich," by Mucca Pazza
