When a six-year-old girl is found dead, hanging from a tree, the only clue the O
slo Police have to work with is an airline tag around her neck. It reads 'I'm tr
avelling alone'. Holger Munch, veteran police investigator, is immediately charg
ed with re-assembling his homicide unit.
But to complete the team, he must co
nvince his erstwhile partner, Mia Kruger - a brilliant but troubled investigator
- to return from the solitary island where she has retreated with plans to take
her own life. Reviewing the evidence, Mia identifies something no one else has
noticed - a thin line carved into the dead girl's fingernail: the number 1. Inst
inctively, she knows that this is only the beginning.
