Description

On a bright day in rural Norway, nine-year-old Ida Joner sets out on her brand-new bike to buy a few small treats and a favorite magazine—only to vanish without a trace. As the search turns into a case that refuses to stay simple, Inspector Konrad Sejer and his team follow a trail of unsettling details, where time, memory, and motive blur together. With each new discovery, the novel probes the fragile boundary between ordinary life and sudden violence, exploring how communities cope with fear and how justice is shaped by what people choose to see. Karin Fossum’s taut, psychologically sharp storytelling—hallmark of her acclaimed Inspector Sejer series—builds suspense through atmosphere and character insight, delivering a chilling investigation with lasting emotional weight.
