The deadliest lie might be the one you tell yourself…

The discovery of a child’s bones on derelict land outside Oslo reopens a case that has haunted a small town for thirty-five years. The girl had vanished without trace, and someone had taken great care to ensure she was never found. Now, one of Norway’s most celebrated lawyers is receiving anonymous threats that appear to reach back to the same past.

Axel Schultz, tireless campaigner against bullying and sole survivor of the massacre that killed his entire family when he was a boy, is accused of having built his career on a lie. Someone is demanding that he confess his sins … or pay the price.

Kari Voss, expert on body language and memory, is called in by the Oslo Police to assess whether Axel’s claim that he has no knowledge of the threats is true. Kari quickly sees that he is lying.

But about what?

And then there is another murder.

As Kari and Chief Inspector Ramona Norum investigate, Kari’s father, Oslo’s former chief of police, follows a new lead into the disappearance of Kari’s son, missing since his ninth birthday eight years earlier. A sighting in Denmark suggests the boy may still be alive, but his enquiries yield only dead ends, and the Danish police seem inexplicably eager for him to leave.

Then a missing diary resurfaces, and the connections between a dead girl, a threatened man, a murdered family and a fresh killing begin to take shape.

Everyone in that small town remembers what happened.

And one of them remembers why…
