The twelfth adventure of Inspector Patrick and his beloved Erica.

The evil of the past casts its shadow on the present. Thirty years have passed since Sofie Rundberg disappeared without a trace. She had just started high school, was popular, loved by everyone—and hated by some. Her disappearance shocked Fjällbacka and for a long time, fear hovered over the idyllic community. Now the police suddenly make a macabre discovery. Have they found Sofie dead?

The investigation that follows unsettles the lives of all those who tried to move on. Patrick Hedström and his colleagues at the Tanumshede police department are under great pressure, while author Erica Falck also becomes involved in the case. And someone is willing to do anything to prevent the truth from coming to light.

In the new book of the Fjällbacka series, Camilla Lackberg reminds us that she is one of the greatest crime novel writers.
