Inspector Kristian Wold is assigned to a year-old missing person's case. His superiors' instructions are clear: one last review before they shelve it. Nevertheless, when the mother of the 14-year-old missing girl asks to see him, his conscience gets the better of him and he agrees to a meeting; a meeting that has unforeseen consequences for both of them.
Stig Saeterbakken (1966 2012) was one of Norway s most acclaimed contemporary writers. His novels include Through the Night and Siamese (also published by Dalkey Archive).
