A killer caught. A murder sentence served. But did they arrest the wrong man?

In 1999, seventeen-year-old Tone Vaterland was killed on her way home from work. Desperate for a conviction, the police deemed the investigation an open-and-shut case and sent her spurned boyfriend, Danny Momrak, down for murder.

But twenty years later, William Wisting receives a puzzling letter. It suggests the wrong man was convicted for Tone's death, and the real murderer is still out there.

Wisting is quickly thrown into a terrifying race against time, where he must find the sender, decipher this mysterious letter, and catch the real killer before they strike again.
