' Has anyone seen Andreas?'
Andreas's disappearance is a mystery to all, including his inseparable friend Zipp. But its not easy for Zipp to come forward with details of the last time he saw his friend
- they had been following an old woman, an easy target for some quick cash, & Andreas boldly followed her into her home brandishing his knife, the next moment he was gone. Zipp waited anxiously outside but Andreas failed to reappear.
Inspector Sejer & his colleague Skarre are baffled but while the confusion in the outside world continues, a chilling & heart-stopping drama is unfolding inside the old woman's home. In a plot in the tradition of Stephen King, Fossum deploys her trademark skill of looking realistically, terrifyingly, into the minds of criminal & victim. Appearances aren't always to be believed, & people are not always what they seem.
