About this listen

 The earth never forgets. And some promises should never be kept. Frida Norrby has lived a long, quiet life near the ancient Roma church on Gotland. But when her husband, Helge, passes away, he leaves behind a burden heavier than grief: a secret buried decades ago in a field of stone. Bound by a vow of silence to a dying friend, Frida does the unthinkable. She takes a spade to the earth and unearths the fragile skeleton of an infant - a horrible truth she decides to bring into her own home. But Frida isn't the only one watching the shadows. When Frida's house is consumed by a midnight inferno, Detective Inspector Maria Wern is called to the smoldering ruins. The fire was no accident - it was arson, meticulously set to erase everything inside. Among the ashes, Maria makes a discovery that turns a tragic fire into a grisly murder hunt: the remains of an infant that shouldn't exist. As Maria and her colleague Tomas Hartman dig into Frida's past, they find a trail of breadcrumbs left in a secret bank vault - dried roses, cryptic Latin texts, and maps marking a deadly triangle across the island. Someone is killing to keep the contents of that vault hidden, and they are just getting started. In the haunting tenth installment of the Maria Wern series, Anna Jansson explores the dark side of devotion. On Gotland, the past isn't just a memory - it's a ghost that demands a sacrifice.
