To clear his name, he must leave his whole life behind and go on the run.
But Jonas soon discovers that he is ensnared in a larger game of truth and falsehood, where the line between right and wrong becomes swiftly erased. Only when the trail leads him back to his own father’s mysterious death does this hitherto law-abiding defence attorney realise there is only one way out; to become like the person he is hunting...
