SPOILERS!!!
Amaia discovers that there are three cases of murdered women, killed by men who did a clumsy job and did not try to hide their identities. Yet, all three of them had one amputated limb, skillfully removed, and then the women's killers committed suicide, leaving the word 'agotes'. The word refers to a social group that was marginalised during the Middle Ages.
She wants Judge Markina to let her investigate, and the man tells her to go and see him later that night at a restaurant. Amaia goes, wanting for the meeting to be brief, but the judge insists she sit and eat with him, which Amaia does reluctantly. When the judge agrees to give his permission, he also hints that he is interested in her romantically, but Amaia makes him understaned that their relationship is strictly professional.
Amaia moves to Elizondo, where her family have always lived, to investigate the attacks to the church. As she investigates the case of the three women, she realises that all three either lived in the Baftan area or were connected with the area. As she starts investigating the attack to the church, he discovers that recently there had been a new parishioner, a young man, Beñat Zaldua, who reamined in teh back of the church, and Amaia starts suspecting because the agotes used to remain in that area of the church for the marginalised condition they had. That means that the two cases she is investigating may be linked.
Amaia is worried for her sister Ros, who is now in charge of the bakery. Ros appears subdued, but when Amaia asks her, she disregards her worries.
