All he wants is for them to say sorry. The police find out about the crime the way everyone
does: on Snapchat. The video shows the terrified victim begging for forgiveness. When her body
is found it is marked with a number 2... Detective Huldar joins the investigation bringing
child psychologist Freyja on board to help question the murdered teenager's friends. Soon they
uncover that Stella was far from the angel people claim - but even so who could have hated her
enough to kill? Then another teenager goes missing and more clips are sent. Freyja and
Huldar can agree on two things at least: the truth is far from simple. And the killer is not
done yet. A brilliantly suspenseful story about the dark side of social media The Absolution
will make you wonder what you should have said sorry for... Praise for Yrsa Sigurdardottir
