It' s time to crack the impossibly brilliant murder mystery from Alex Ahndoril the new
pseudonym for the No.1 international bestselling author Lars Kepler. ________________________
A man walks into a private investigator' s office holds up a photograph and says: ' I
want you to find out if I killed this man.' Private investigator Julia Stark receives an
unannounced visit at the office. The man at the door is one of the owners of a successful
family business. The day before he was present at a board meeting and dinner at his estate in
the northwestern part of Sweden. The following morning he finds a photograph in his phone of a
bloody man tied up with a bag over his head. Due to alcohol-related amnesia the man has no
idea where the picture comes from and wants to hire Stark Detective Agency to clear his name
before the police get involved. Julia asks her ex-husband Sidney Mendelson to take time off
from the City Police and assist her in the investigation. There is still a glimmer of hope left
in Julia that this might be her chance to win him back. Welcomed as guests at the opulent
estate Julia and Sidney begin to search for the truth while dining and socializing with each
of the family members that could theoretically be involved in the murder. She' s solved
every mystery. But none like this . . .
