About this ebook

Nina Borg, a Red Cross nurse, wife, and mother of two, is a compulsive do-gooder who can't say no when someone asks for help—even when she knows better. When her estranged friend Karin leaves her a key to a public locker in the Copenhagen train station, Nina gets suckered into her most dangerous project yet. Inside the locker is a suitcase, and inside the suitcase is a three-year-old boy: naked and drugged, but alive.
 
Is the boy a victim of child trafficking? Can he be turned over to authorities, or will they only return him to whoever sold him? When Karin is discovered brutally murdered, Nina realizes that her life and the boy's are in jeopardy, too. In an increasingly desperate trek across Denmark, Nina tries to figure out who the boy is, where he belongs, and who exactly is trying to hunt him down.

Ratings and reviews

It was about 1am when I forced myself to put this book down. I loved it! I picked it up the next afternoon and read it to the finish.

If you liked The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo you will like this book. Enough plot twists to keep you guessing.

The end is weird. It does not conclude into a way that I knew how things were finalized. Upsetting to say the least
