A nurse, wife and mother of two, Nina can’t say no when someone asks for help—even when she knows better. When her estranged friend Karin leaves her a key to a public locker in a Copenhagen train station, Nina gets suckered into her most dangerous project yet. Inside the locker is a suitcase, and inside the suitcase is a three-year-old boy: naked and drugged, but alive.

In an increasingly desperate trek across Denmark, Nina tries to figure out who the boy is, where he belongs, and who exactly is trying to hunt him down.

Shocking, Edge Of Your Seat, WTF Is Going On Here Storyline

This storyline is bananas, in the best way possible. I had moments when I shook my head in disbelief that my mother told me to read this one. But the twist of a conclusion did not disappoint.

The voice actress for this is phenomenal and really brings to life a story that is already fantastic on it's own. *Chef's Kiss*

Hard to understand

Wasn’t easy to follow the story. This nook was written for people in another country.
