Almost two years later… A woman is brutally murdered on Pepparholm island, at the base of the bridge. She is identified as Margrethe Thormod, General Director of the Migration Agency in Copenhagen. A motive may lie in a recent deportation scandal that affected Margrethe personally. Henrik Sabroe investigates the macabre murder with his Danish colleague Jonas Mandrup. Henrik misses his colleague Saga Norén, now in prison having been convicted of murdering her mother. He visits as often as she will allow him. He asks for her help with the new case, but Saga points out that, as she isn’t a police officer anymore, she can’t get involved. The same logic applies to Henrik’s missing children, leaving him on the brink of giving up his search for them…
