Synopsis

A Case That
Closes Inward

Detective Mika Abner has spent fifteen years building a record he believes is clean. Forty-eight hours in Vryehelm — investigating a pattern of deaths that refuses every conventional explanation — will dismantle every word of it.

The Veritas does not need to lie. It only needs to show Mika what he has already seen, in the order he has refused to see it. The case becomes a mirror. The mirror does not look away.

What begins as a homicide investigation becomes the most personal interrogation of Mika Abner's life — and the last thing he was expecting when he opened the file.

It is not a whodunit. It is a why-did-he. And the answer will break everything Mika Abner thought he knew about himself.
