The bestselling author's new crime novel explores the lives of people living in profound grief. Confused and frightened, six-year-old Kandis sits in a cabin somewhere in the Norwegian forest. Outside, the wolf lurks—at least, that's what the man who took Kandis away told her. But who is worse: the wolf out there or the sad man in the cabin? Can people also be monsters? Detective Eddie Feber is forced to ask himself this question when Alfie René bursts into the police station, revealing that his young daughter has disappeared. Eddie, who has children of the same age, does everything he can to rescue the girl and help the distraught father. After the death of his wife and a serious accident, Kandis is all Alfie has left. But the deeper Detective Feber delves into the web of pain, guilt, and lies, the greater his fear becomes that he will arrive too late. Much too late to save a fragile child's soul from the worst.
