Four years after the murder of a schoolgirl, tragedy revisits the small town of Nordholm. In the sequel to Death of a Girl, Simon Kessler of the Hamburg homicide squad leads the investigation into the mysterious death of a family man. There is no trace of the rest of the family, which leads Kessler to suspect a murder-suicide. But when the youngest son turns up, doubts begin to grow. Kessler’s colleague is convinced of the father’s innocence and a web of lies and secrets within the local community further complicates every effort to resolve the case.
