Description
John's girlfriend is brutally murdered moments before he arrives at her flat in a Stockholm suburb.
The killer flees into the blizzard and leaves John behind, stricken by grief and denial.
But instead of breaking John, the shock cuts his soul apart.
One part of him remains conscious and goes on a ruthless, calculated manhunt unlike anything the police has ever seen.
Because John’s waking self is bent on revenge – at any price.
At the same time, another part of John plummets into a private hell, a maze that he and an enigmatic guide desperately try to escape from.
As Detective Lena Franke is following in John's footsteps, she finds more questions than answers as she tracks his violent passage through Stockholm’s winter streets.
And Lena’s sanity hinges on this mission: burdened by a dark past, her chance for redemption rests with saving John – if she can't find him before she falls apart, John is truly lost.
