Nina, a nurse at the Danish Red Cross Center, got an urgent call from her friend Karin. Karin gave Nina a key to pick up something in a locker, and she found a heavy suitcase. Nina was shocked to find a naked three-year-old boy inside the suitcase. He was drugged but still breathing. Nina, who had seen many victims of child trafficking in her job, is afraid to contact the police in case they return him to a bad situation. She frantically tries to get in contact with Karin, only to find that she was fatally attacked. Nina cannot communicate with the boy who only speaks Lithuanian, but she must find out his identity before she makes her next move. Meanwhile, the boy's mother in Lithuania is desperately trying to find her son, while not frightening his captors so much that they kill or hurt him.

This book is a wonderful mystery/thriller with a great plot. I could not put it down and read the whole book late into the night. I would highly recommend it to readers who enjoy thrillers.
