Peter Hunter peered up at his mom, a spoonful of Cheerios halfway to his mouth. “We’re always late.”

Особый отдел «Q» копенгагенской полиции создан для расследования громких, но оставшихся нераскрытыми криминальных преступлений. Карл Мёрк, шеф отдела, получает досье, касающееся жестокого убийство брата и сестры, совершенного много лет назад. Полицейские, которые вели расследование, предполагали, что убийцу нужно искать среди юных воспитанников школы-интерната, отпрысков богатых семей. Спустя десять лет один из подозреваемых дал признательные показания и был осужден. Казалось бы, дело закрыто. Так почему же папка с его материалами оказалась на столе Карла Мёрка? Кто ее туда положил? Кому не дает покоя давняя трагедия? Вместе со своим помощником Карл возобновляет расследование, и бывшие подозреваемые выходят из тени. Их четверо: психически нездоровая, живущая на улицах Копенгагена Кимми и трое ее бывших школьных друзей, теперь ставших очень влиятельными людьми. Кимми ведет свою игру: она многое знает и готова мстить.
