A Brutal Murder. A Missing Scientist. A Deadly Pursuit.

Aarhus, Denmark. When anthropology student Anna Kiehl vanishes during her evening run in the local forest, no one notices. But the next morning, her body is found -- naked, throat slit, a bouquet of poisonous hemlock on her chest. The city is horrified. Who would kill a young mother and stage her death like a macabre offering?

Lieutenant Detective Daniel Trokic of the East Jutland Police takes the case, but the deeper he digs, the more unsettling the details become. Anna's young son has gone mute. Her apartment has been wiped clean. And in her mailbox lies a book written by a renowned neurochemist researching antidepressants -- who vanished without a trace eight weeks earlier. Are the two cases connected?

As Trokic races to uncover the truth, one thing becomes terrifyingly clear: Anna carried a secret someone was willing to kill for. And that person won't hesitate to kill again.
