Shadow

Unearthed mysteries and a truth that could trigger tragic consequences. Gerda Persson, 92, dies in her apartment, and her body is only found three days later. Gerda appears to have been an ordinary person, having lived a remarkably normal life—until her refrigerator is opened. Inside, several books, neatly stacked and wrapped in plastic, are covered in a layer of ice—all written by the same author, Axel Ragnerfeldt, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature. What mysteries might these books contain? Marianne Folkesson, the municipality's inventory curator, contacts the writer's son, Jan-Erik, and discovers that the elderly woman was employed by the Ragnerfeldts for many years. While searching for a photo of Gerda at Marianne's request, Jan-Erik stumbles upon family secrets: a story of betrayal and lies that, for those involved, should remain in the past. The rise of the Ragnerfeldts seems to have been marked by a dark crime – something that had been buried by time and that may now come to light.
