Is it worth it to dig up the truth? The internationally bestselling psychological crime series continues…

The year is 1995. Detective Chief Inspector Kerttu Leppänen and her husband Inspector Esko Koivuvyö are investigating the murder of a middle-aged woman. However, a mystery at the murder scene confounds the investigation: a bloody knife is lying on a pillow next to the body, even though it cannot possibly be the murder weapon.

Thirty years later, Ira wants to know the truth about her parents’ marriage. Why was her mother Marja afraid of her father Arto? And why does Arto refuse to answer Ira’s questions?

In different decades, Kerttu and Ira discover something very similar: if you unearth the truth, you must be prepared to face the consequences.
