THE ONE WHO KNOWS (DEN SOM VET)
John Willander Lambrell
On Christmas morning, a six-year-old celebrity child is found dead in the family’s basement. Her death is surrounded by questions and soon captures the nation’s attention. Could someone have murdered the girl while her family slept in the same house?
For young profiler Benjamin Krantz, the case is intriguing as it also represents an opportunity. All his life he has lived in the shadow of his father, and now he finally has the chance to step out of his shadow. But as he digs deeper, Benjamin begins to question whether the man he idolized was the father he thought he knew.
Meanwhile, Detective Inspector Monica Eurell is consumed by the disappearance of her own sister. In the midst of the murder investigation of the little girl, she suddenly stumbles upon a new lead in the search for her sister—something that forces her to question everything she thought she knew.
In the hunt for the killer, everyone has a theory. But who is it that really knows? The One Who Knows is inspired by a true event and a widely debated cold case
