Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Riktor doesn't like the way the policeman storms into his home without even knocking. He doesn't like the arrogant way he walks around the house, taking note of its contents. The policeman doesn't bother to explain why he's there, and Riktor is too afraid to ask. He knows he's guilty of a terrible crime and he's sure the policeman has found him out.
But when the policeman finally does confront him, Riktor freezes. The man is arresting him for something totally unexpected. Riktor doesn't have a clear conscience, but the crime he's being accused of is one he certainly didn't commit. Can he clear his name without further incriminating himself?
This is a gripping, mind-bending stand-alone novel from "a truly great writer" (Jo Nesbø).

"What if you were arrested for a crime you didn't commit--but had to prove your innocence without revealing anything about the crime that you did?" -- from publisher's web site.
