Detective Carl Mørck isn’t known for letting go. Department Q may be tucked away in the basement, but it’s where Copenhagen’s coldest cases finally get a second chance.
The latest file to land on his desk? A twenty-year-old double homicide involving a brother and sister. A suspect confessed and went to prison, but something about it stinks. The case is too neat, the confession too clean, and the trail—though cold—is far from dead.
At the center of it all is Kimmie, a fugitive living off the grid, haunted by the past and hunted by people with far too much to lose. She knows what really happened. The question is whether Carl can find her before someone else makes sure she stays silent for good.
