Months after surviving the hunt for her family's darkest secrets, Judge Emma Anders is obsessed with one thing: tracking down Aleksander, the elusive assassin who spared her life and may hold the truth about her husband's death.
Her search leads her to a storm-swept manor, where enthusiasts of ancient Egypt have gathered for the unveiling of a newly discovered sarcophagus-Aleksander among them. But the bizarre gathering turns deadly when the power fails and a guest is found mutilated in the estate's medieval cellars.
Reunited with detectives Marcus Winter and Elisabeth Wolf, Emma is drawn into a macabre game of vengeance rooted in a decades-old war crime and a legendary golden artefact said to promise eternal life. At the centre of it all: the shadow organisation that killed her husband.
This time, survival isn't enough. Justice must be delivered.
Emma Anders' second case – darker, bleaker and more thrilling. An absolute must-read for fans of Freida McFadden and Nicola Sanders!
