About the trilogy
Meet Kirsten Hartogs, the main character of this crime trilogy and a young and ambitious criminal lawyer. After receiving her law degree, she obtains a position in a prestigious law firm in Lisbon, Fontes & Associados. In her first big murder case, she struggles with right or wrong, the honesty of her client and the constant pressure from the media. Throughout the story, the reader discovers that Kirsten herself was a key witness in a murder case years earlier. As a young girl, she saw Vincent Bertelet murdering his girlfriend Sandy, who was Kirsten’s babysitter. Kirsten testified against him in court and Vincent was put behind bars. Since his recent release from jail, he is again seeking his way into Kirsten’s life, looking for revenge.
