Summary: Inspector Kari Vaara investigates the case of a young woman with Down syndrome who was promised work and a better life in Finland and has since disappeared.
"One more missing girl is a drop in the barrel for a police department that is understaffed and overburdened, but for Kari, the case is personal: it's a chance for redemption, to help the victims his failed black-ops unit was intended to save, and to prove to his estranged wife, Kate, that he's still the man he once was. His search will lead him from the glittering world of Helsinki's high-class clubs to the darkest circles of Finland's underground trade in trafficked women ... and straight into the path of some of the most untouchable people in the country."--Book jacket.
