Sinopse

An explosion of violence sends British sleuth Patrick Dawlish on the trail of a criminal empire that threatens the very foundations of crown and country.   Recruited by Scotland Yard to secretly investigate the ever-expanding substance abuse among London’s upper echelons, Patrick Dawlish is once again ready to risk life and limb doing a job that isn’t his. With two nightclubs to focus on, he gets entrée into one of the suspected drug dens when he offers to meet a friend’s former fiancée, actress Chloë Farrimond.   When his meeting is highjacked by armed goons, Dawlish narrowly escapes, learning that the whole murderous affair was set off by the search for a set of silver-backed hair brushes, a gift from Chloë to her former love. Dawlish could never expect that such a simple accessory could draw a secret organization out of the shadows with machine guns blazing—in a spree of crime and corruption on a level never before seen . . .

    The earth never forgets. And some promises should never be kept.
    
    Frida Norrby has lived a long, quiet life near the ancient Roma church on Gotland. But when her husband, Helge, passes away, he leaves behind a burden heavier than grief: a secret buried decades ago in a field of stone. Bound by a vow of silence to a dying friend, Frida does the unthinkable. She takes a spade to the earth and unearths the fragile skeleton of an infant - a horrible truth she decides to bring into her own home.
    
    But Frida isn't the only one watching the shadows.
    
    When Frida's house is consumed by a midnight inferno, Detective Inspector Maria Wern is called to the smoldering ruins. The fire was no accident - it was arson, meticulously set to erase everything inside. Among the ashes, Maria makes a discovery that turns a tragic fire into a grisly murder hunt: the remains of an infant that shouldn't exist.
    
    As Maria and her colleague Tomas Hartman dig into Frida's past, they find a trail of breadcrumbs left in a secret bank vault - dried roses, cryptic Latin texts, and maps marking a deadly triangle across the island. Someone is killing to keep the contents of that vault hidden, and they are just getting started.
    
    In the haunting tenth installment of the Maria Wern series, Anna Jansson explores the dark side of devotion. On Gotland, the past isn't just a memory - it's a ghost that demands a sacrifice.
