Paperback: A family torn apart. Another trying to find a way to be as one.
Ingemar Lerberg had it all: successful businessman, politician, husband, father until he is found, brutally beaten and left for dead, in his mansion in a fashionable district of Stockholm.
His wife, Nora, is missing.
With no alternative, his children are taken into care.
In one night, a family has been ripped apart.
Journalist Annika Bengtzon is assigned to the case. As she delves into the horrifying details of this family's fate, she grapples too with the change in her own. With her new boyfriend she must patch together a family from their respective children and stepchildren, and find a way for them all to live harmoniously.
Family matters above all else, but all is never as it seems.
Behind the scenes, darkness lies.
