The chilling and heart-pounding new novel from Norwegian superstar Jørn Lier Horst.
THE INSPIRATION FOR THE HIT BBC FOUR SHOW WISTING
Wisting is back with his most gripping case yet.
In 1999, seventeen-year-old Tone Vaterland was killed on her way home from work. Desperate for a conviction the police deemed the investigation an open-and-shut case and sent her spurned boyfriend, Danny Momrak, down for murder.
But twenty years later William Wisting receives a puzzling letter. It suggests the wrong man was convicted for Tone's death and the real murderer is still out there, and could kill again. . .
