A case that remained a secret for more than twenty years will finally be revealed.
A new gripping detective thriller by Anders de la Motte, a former police officer, former head of security for a major IT company, and now one of Sweden’s best-known writers.
1983. The chief of a small Swedish police station, Krister Munson, is busy searching for missing five-year-old Billy Nilsson, whose trail ends in a cornfield. The case grows more and more tangled—and then reaches a dead end altogether. Two decades later, Matthias, Billy’s brother, prepares to head the police station, while Veronica Lind, the missing boy’s older sister, leads a support group for those who have lost someone close and are trying to rebuild their lives. Unexpectedly, Isaka Sjölin, Billy’s longtime friend, joins her group. He doesn’t recognize Veronica and begins to talk about his brother’s disappearance. And in this account, strange details appear—details that nobody had paid attention to. But are Matthias and Veronica ready to face the truth that was hidden for all those years?
