On a cold, snowy winter's night in 1999, Sander and Killian leave a house party together, in a small town in rural Sweden. The very best of friends, they imagine they will remain so forever.
The next morning, each is a key suspect in a murder. Each has something they want to conceal from the police. And from the other.
The hunt for Mikael Soederstroem's killer will take over twenty years. It will see a detective leave the force forever. And it won't end until a second body is found, and the tight-knit community's secrets are finally brought to light . . .
