Is it worse to deceive your husband or the police? Rikke is lying to them both…
When her upstairs neighbor Jørgen is found murdered, she’s questioned alongside her husband. How can she admit that she and Jørgen were having an affair? Or explain to the police the complexity of her feelings? The hint of relief that he’s dead. And what would they say if they knew she used a spare key to enter his apartment the morning after he was killed?
Rikke knows she can’t hide the evidence of an affair from the police. And if she’s caught in her lie, suspicion will turn to her. Now she faces an impossible choice — confess and destroy her marriage or keep quiet and wait for it to implode.
With her perfect family threatening to unravel, Rikke realizes that finding the killer is the only way to put herself in the clear. So long as the killer doesn’t get to her first.
