In the suburbs of Copenhagen, in the month of October, the police discover the corpse of a woman whose hand has been amputated. Next to the body, they find a small doll made of chestnuts and matchsticks. Young Inspector Naia Thulin and Inspector Mark Hess are in charge of investigating the case and discover that the figure has mysterious fingerprints: those of the daughter of Rosa Hartung, Minister of Social Affairs, who was kidnapped a year earlier and presumed dead. Thulin and Hess explore all the clues that may reveal a connection between the disappearance of the minister's daughter and the victim whose hand was cut off. When another woman is murdered with the same modus operandi, they realize that the nightmare has only just begun. This thriller will keep you awake late into the night.
