A harsh winter has arrived in Copenhagen. Investigator Jeppe Kerner has just returned from vacation, but his good mood does not last long - the body of a man is found in a snowdrift in the park. At first, the police believe that it is a frozen homeless man, but it soon turns out that this is the brutal murder of a celebrity in the fashion world. But who killed him and how remains a mystery. Jeppe Kerner is assigned to lead the case together with his colleague Anette Werner. They find out that the victim was very familiar with Jeppe's best friend, Johannes Ledmark, but he disappeared without a trace. What made him run away? Is he in danger? Or is he the one guilty of the crime? Jeppe Kerner gets deeper and deeper into a tangled web of lies. The book has been translated into 26 languages.
