Um trágico acidente de viação. Uma vítima mortal.

Patrick Hedström é chamado ao local do acidente para tomar conta da ocorrência enquanto os habitantes de Tanumshede se concentram num evento sem precedentes na pequena localidade: é ali que vão decorrer as filmagens de um Reality Show televisivo que já fez sucesso noutras pequenas cidades da Suécia. Uma oportunidade única para promover a região. 

Ao mesmo tempo que Patrick Hedström tenta resolver o enigma que resultou do acidente de viação, as câmaras captam cada movimento dos participantes do programa televisivo, jovens problemáticos e irreverentes cuja convivência se torna mais difícil a cada momento, aproximando-se rapidamente do ponto de ruptura. Quando uma festa termina com a morte de um dos concorrentes que se tornou particularmente impopular, os colegas e a equipa de produção passam a ser os suspeitos óbvios. Haverá um assassino entre eles?

It's a profile, like all the others on the online dating site. But as NYPD Detective Kat Donovan focuses on the accompanying picture, she feels her whole world explode, as emotions she’s ignored for decades come crashing down on her. Staring back at her is her ex-fiancé Jeff, the man who shattered her heart—and who she hasn’t seen in 18 years.

Kat feels a spark, wondering if this might be the moment when past tragedies recede and a new world opens up to her. But when she reaches out to the man in the profile, her reawakened hope quickly darkens into suspicion and then terror as an unspeakable conspiracy comes to light, in which monsters prey upon the most vulnerable. 

As the body count mounts and Kat's hope for a second chance with Jeff grows more and more elusive, she is consumed by an investigation that challenges her feelings about everyone she ever loved—her former fiancé, her mother, and even her father, whose cruel murder so long ago has never been fully explained. With lives on the line, including her own, Kat must venture deeper into the darkness than she ever has before, and discover if she has the strength to survive what she finds there.

A childhood mistake. A lifetime of regrets.

Jenni is a ‘ghost’: she writes the lives of other people. It’s a job that suits her well: still haunted by a childhood tragedy, she finds it easier to take refuge in the memories of others rather than dwell on her own.

Jenni has an exciting new commission, and is delighted to start working on the memoirs of a Dutchwoman, Klara. As a child in the Second World War, Klara was interned in a camp on Java during the Japanese occupation – she has an extraordinary story of survival to tell. 

But as Jenni and Klara begin to get to know each other, Jenni begins to do much more than shed light on a neglected part of history. She is being forced to examine her own devastating memories, too. But with Klara’s help, perhaps this is finally the moment where she will be able to lay the ghosts of her own past to rest?
