Liv is a single mother in Norway who is suddenly kidnapped. Anastasia is a fashion young model from Russia and she and Giorgio, an aristocrat and extremely wealthy Italian owner of a large model agency, falls instantly in love. Selma is an Oslo-based investigative journalist determined to expose the dark secrets behind the modeling industry. Three point of view stories which are bound to intertwine. A dark psychological thriller with some of the best placed breadcrumbs I've read in a while. Extremely well written and thoroughly engaging.
