Living in a small mountain town, Roy believed his younger brother was gone for good, but now Carl returns with a mysterious new wife and a business opportunity that seems too good to be true. In this standalone novel by Jo Nesbø, unexplained deaths in the town's past come under new scrutiny, and the locals want a culprit. Soon powerful players set their sights on taking the brothers down, but Roy and Carl are survivors, and no strangers to violence. As unbearable secrets come to the surface, Roy will be forced to choose between his own flesh and blood and a future he had never dared to believe possible.
