Five years ago, Ida bravely took the stand against her celebrity therapist Clarissa Virta-and Virta's monstrous husband. Now in her twenties and working alongside her newly sober father at Helsinki Aviisi's crime desk, Ida stumbles upon a disturbing pattern: a series of murders that point to a hidden serial killer stalking the streets of Helsinki.
Leading the official investigation is Detective Chief Inspector Kerttu Leppaenen, a veteran homicide officer with retirement in sight and ghosts she can't lay to rest. Haunted by unsolved cases and her own regrets, Kerttu is determined to uncover the truth-before the killer strikes again.
But the past has a way of tightening its grip. And it's not finished with them yet.
