“Another success for Lindell!” Berit Kobro, VG

Five little girls in a photograph. Twenty years later one of them is murdered and another goes missing without a trace.

Lise Sommer is afraid! Her best friend Ester Sunnøve Lønn is found murdered, her throat cut. Several days later her young son goes missing as well, and as the police begin to chip away at the surface they find that a third friend of Lise and Ester Synnøve has been missing for two years. The relationship between the friends has murky undercurrents. What really happened when the girls were young? And the mothers, what are the mothers hiding? Dark bands between these characters are woven together into a sinister pattern. Someone is seeking revenge, but who and why?

Police Inspector Cato Isaksen has a new and grim murder to solve.

“Masterly crafted suspense from Lindell.” Dagsavisen
