Summary

Detective William Wisting has spent years solving the cases that others can’t. But when his daughter, Line, unearths information about the little-known past of Adrian Stiller - head of the Cold Case Unit in Oslo - including the mysterious disappearance of Stiller’s high school sweetheart, Wisting trusts Line to follow the trail. Wisting is looking forward to taking a step back. When his former boss dies, however, Wisting suspects foul play was involved. Particularly when a link to Stiller and another cold case emerges… As secrets come to light, new and old threads intertwine - and at the centre of it all stands Wisting, who alongside his daughter, must solve one last case.
