The dog was lying very calmly in a small clearing. And that was when he saw the little girl hanging from the tree. Dangling above the ground. With a satchel on her back. And a note around her neck:
I'M TRAVELLING ALONE.
A young girl dead,a single clue,a pattern about to begin.
When the body of a young girl is found hanging from a tree,the only clue the police have is an airline tag around her neck. It reads'I'm travelling alone'.
In response,police investigator Holger Munch is immediately charged with assembling a special homicide unit. But to complete the team,he must track down his former partner,Mia Kruger - a brilliant but troubled detective - who has retreated to a solitary island with plans to kill herself.
Reviewing the file,Mia finds something new - a thin line carved into the dead girl's fingernail: the number 1. She knows that this is only the beginning.
To save other children from the same fate,she must find a way to cast aside her own demons and stop this murderer from becoming a serial killer.
