Privacy is a privilege. Shame is a weapon. And someone is always watching.

One storm-lashed October night, sixteen-year-old Hugo vanishes from the Gotland ferry. The search is called off, but a hushed-up witness report and a sister's intuition suggest Hugo didn't just fall-he was pushed. While the mystery of the missing boy lingers, a brutal wave of violence hits the island. An aging school photographer is left for dead in his home, his life's work-a massive photo archive-systematically ravaged by fire.

The investigation takes a devastating turn for Detective Tomas Hartman when his own mother is assaulted and left to die in the forest. Her only memory? The cold lens of a camera filming her agony.

As Detective Inspector Maria Wern takes the lead, the hunter becomes the hunted. She receives an email that stops her heart: a high-definition video of her own bedroom, filmed from the darkness outside her window. In a world where our most private secrets are just one 'send' away from public disgrace, Maria must track down a digital predator before her own life is uploaded for the world to see. Because in the age of the internet, the ultimate weapon isn't a gun or a knife-it's the truth, weaponized.

In this gripping sixteenth installment of the Maria Wern series, international bestseller Anna Jansson explores a chilling new frontier of crime. The killer doesn't just want to take lives; he wants to destroy them with a single click.
