Dear Librarians,

What would you do if you found a boy in a suitcase? A toddler, folded into a suitcase in a train station, naked and unconscious, but alive?

This is the challenge that our main character, Red Cross nurse Nina Borg, faces. She has no idea who the boy is, or where he comes from, or what sinister reason someone might have had for leaving him there; but she soon finds out that whoever those ruthless people are, they are willing to kill in order to retrieve their property.

At the other end of the mystery is Sigita Ramoskiene, the boy's Lithuanian mother, who wakes up one Sunday morning in a hospital, alone, with a concussion, a broken arm, and no memory of anything inbetween.

One lost child. Two strong women, who will need every ounce of their strength to solve the mystery and save him. We hope you will enjoy their story—we certainly enjoyed writing it.

Best wishes,
Lene Kaaberbøl and Agnete Friis
