David Sarak is a "handler" in the Stockholm Police: his main mission is to recruit and guide informants, whom he protects with "top secret" status. He is extremely effective, which allows him to operate undisturbed - even by his own service - in a world dominated by deceitful maneuvers, bribes, and betrayal.

His life changes radically when he is injured in a car accident and suffers from amnesia. The circle of those he protects has now slipped out of his control, and he himself has become prey - both "legal" and illegal entities are hunting him to uncover his closely guarded secrets.

It is imperative that he re-establish contact with the informant "Janus," a mysterious key figure high up in the underworld hierarchy. And he must outpace those who are hot on his trail, ready to trample over corpses to reveal - or conceal? - the true identity of "Janus."

With a rich narrative, Anders de la Mot weaves a grim world and crafts a story full of tension, fast pace, and suspense.
