Stockholm is exploding in the warm colours of autumn. It is a striking view, but police detective Emma Sköld’s eyes fall on something else. A woman is balancing on the wrong side of the railing of a major bridge, holding a baby in her arms.
Emma must prevent the woman and infant from falling twenty-six meters down into the sea and a certain death. What has led her to this point? Emma Sköld and her colleagues face an intricate investigation in their most urgent case yet.
