From the #1 internationally bestselling author of The Tenant and The Butterfly House, comes an unputdownable and darkly original new thriller featuring Detectives Jeppe K-rner and Anette Werner.
A boy is missing.
A web of lies will be uncovered...
When fifteen-year-old Oscar Dreyer-Hoff disappears, it''s assumed he''s another teenage runaway - an overlooked middle child who will turn up within 24 hours.
But as the hours, and then days, tick by and the family become more frantic, Detectives Jeppe K-rner and Anette Werner begin to dig deeper into Oscar''s life.
Who has been sending the family malicious notes? What secrets is Oscar''s best friend keeping? And what''s really going on down at the harbour?
With every passing hour and little evidence, the odds of finding a missing person grow dimmer and dimmer in K-rner and Werner''s toughest case yet.
Combining pin-sharp storytelling and a rollercoaster
