One dark October night the bullied 16-year-old Hugo disappears on board the Gotland ferry. A storm is raging and a witness says she saw him out on deck, but her story is hushed up. The search is eventually called off, but Hugo’s sister can’t stop wondering: what really happened to her little brother?

Tomas Hartman is bogged down in the investigation of a murder – an elderly school photographer who was brutally attacked in his home. His photo archive was ravaged by fire and no motive can be found. Then Hartman’s own mother is assaulted and left to die in the forest, and Hartman becomes more and more preoccupied by personal concerns. When Maria Wern takes over the case, an e-mail turns up with an attached video filmed through a window into her bedroom, and she is forced to realize the power this gives the sender. “Perhaps this is the only weapon that will be needed in the future,” her associate speculates. “… public shaming.”

Anna Jansson’s crime novel Everyone Can See You is about what can happen when the most private matters risk being posted on the Internet. With a simple click on “send” a personal secret can become public knowledge. What are we prepared to do, to protect ourselves from disgrace?
