Book Synopsis

A killer is on the loose. Three children have been abducted. The bodies of two returned to their mothers along with a desperately cruel note:

You Got What You Deserved.

Police Superintendent Adam Stubo is in charge of the investigation, and is convinced there's a crucial detail he's overlooking. In a desperate bid to get some answers, he recruits legal researcher Johanne Vik, a woman with an extensive understanding of criminal history.

With a chance that the third child is still alive the clock is ticking. Can the pair solve the case in time to save her?

The first instalment in the sensationally gripping Vik/Stubo series.
