Summary |
In 1994, two young twins are found brutally murdered in a summer cottage. A series of clues point to a group of young upper class students from a nearby boarding school, but the case is closed when a local outsider pleads guilty and is convicted for the murders. Twenty years later, the supposedly solved case lands on the desk of Carl Mørck in Department Q, and he quickly realises that something is terribly wrong. |
