December 2004. Fifteen-year-old Elina Rautio locks up the gas station at midnight and is never seen again.
April 2026. Kallberget is being moved out of the way of the iron mine, house by house. When the demolition crew breaks into the cellar at number fourteen, Elina is there, half a kilometer from her own front door.
Detective Inspector Hanna Lantto came home to help her mother pack. Now she's digging up the worst mistake of her career.
She typed the confession. She never heard the tapes.
The town wants it buried again. The church won't talk. Her own bosses want her gone. And the man who confessed is still locked up.
The Lifted House. The first Hanna Lantto Investigation.
