Description

A bank robbery spirals into chaos when a demented man takes a hostage by accident, forcing three unlikely figures into a tense, reluctant alliance. At the center of the unfolding danger is Kannick, a twelve-year-old boy from a home for delinquents—overweight, obsessively devoted to archery, and determined to make sense of what he’s seen. As the group’s uneasy cooperation deepens, the story turns on fear, moral responsibility, and the fragile line between outsider and witness. With Karin Fossum’s sharp psychological insight and suspense-driven pacing, this novel explores how trauma and vulnerability can shape perception—especially when the truth is the most difficult thing to hold onto.
