Except for the fact that both disappear without trace, within days of each other. When Eddie's body is found, suspicion first falls upon his brutal and uncooperative father. But when Nadine's own father raises the alarm, Detective Chief Inspector Louise Bon of the Freiburg police instinctively feels that the cases are connected.An abandoned barn near the river soon becomes the focus of the investigation, beginning a trail that will lead Bon and her team across the Rhine to Colmar, confronting them with the grim secrets of outwardly respectable citizens. Sometimes it takes very little to unleash the monster in man.Translated from the German by Jamie Bulloch
