Publisher's summary

When a six-year-old girl disappears and calling the police isn’t an option, her desperate mother, Pernilla, turns to an unlikely source for help. She finds a cryptic ad online for a private investigator: “Need help, but can’t contact the police?”

That’s where Kouplan comes in. He’s an Iranian refugee living in hiding. He was forced to leave Iran after news of his and his brother's involvement with a radical newspaper hated by the regime was discovered. Kouplan’s brother disappeared, and he hasn’t seen him in four years. He makes a living as a P.I. working under the radar, waiting for the day he can legally apply for asylum.

Pernilla’s daughter has vanished without a trace, and Kouplan is an expert at living and working off the grid. He’s the perfect P.I. to help...but something in Pernilla’s story doesn’t add up. She might need help that he can’t offer...and a little girl’s life hangs in the balance.

Not a favorite truth behind the line

I found this book tedious, sticky like a quagmire too hard to get through. While it was supposed to be set in Sweden there was no local color of any kind at all. I think the storyline was marginal at best. I am sorry but this will make me avoid any other books written by this particular author. I cannot recommend it to anyone.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
