She was only eighteen when she was murdered in the marshlands south of Maribo. A decade has passed since she was assaulted, a decade since she fought through those final, agonizing moments of her life. The brutal crime cut deep wounds into the small village-wounds the residents have never been able to heal.
Now, the killer is free.
Having served his time, he returns to the scene of the crime. His presence rips open old scars and ignites a dangerous thirst for vengeance. The victim's mother, consumed by profound grief, is pushed to her breaking point. The sole eyewitness remains haunted by nightmares. And a ruthless motorcycle gang has its own unfinished business with the killer.
Hans Schmidt, the detective who originally put him away, is now retired-but he is forced back into the fray before the town implodes. Can the old cop drive the killer out and stop the village from drowning in a new wave of blood and tragedy? Or is it already too late?
