A Russian doll of a mystery crafted with the precision of a Swiss watch by the bestselling author of The Truth about the Harry Quebert Affair

I 1999 dukker liget af den unge kvinde Alaska Sanders op ved en sø. Hun er for nyligt flyttet til den søvnige provinsby Mount Pleasant i New Hampshire, men alt tyder på, at hun havde planlagt at forlade sin kæreste og job og flytte tilbage til storbyen. Kort efter tilstår de skyldige, og efterforskningen afsluttes.11 år senere er der dog nye spor i sagen. Kriminalassistent Perry Gahalowood modtager et anonymt brev, der sår tvivl om morderens identitet. Han var overbevist om, at Alaska Sanders-sagen var afsluttet, men brevet går ham på. Fulgte han et falsk spor i 1999?Endnu en gang får Gahalowood hjælp af sin ven forfatteren Marcus Goldman, der har haft stor succes med romanen Sandheden om Harry Quebert-sagen, der var inspireret af deres samarbejde om en anden mordsag. Som sagen skrider frem, dukker spøgelser fra fortiden op – heriblandt den forsvundne Harry Quebert.
