The New Scotland Yard has discovered a connection from Britain to Norway, where the New Luddite society and their 19th century communication methods might provide the Norwegian police a way of discovering the whereabouts of the preposterous detectives. Following an informative visit to London with Eingennsdottir, Haaland is besieged with another vision, allegedly sent from Odin. He is urged to rely on the wisdom of Mimers well to understand the true meaning of the clue and book given to him by Ben Joseph, the preposterous Yard specialist that assured the Norwegians that the murderer is indeed Jack the Ripper, having emerged in our times following the mysterious disappearance from the 19th century when the murders of Whitechapel took place in London. Meanwhile, as Haalands daughter Ingrid struggles with the decision of how to handle her unwanted pregnancy and she is pressured by her mother and Gregers to perform an abortion.
