Elegant, trumpet-like lilies, she thought. But there was something off. Something not right. It was the color. It was strange, sort of pale and flesh-colored...
In a sleepy seaside town outside Copenhagen, a strange light at the bottom of the harbor has the police call in a military diver with a speciality in wet crime scenes. Deep down in the dark water sits a car with the dead body of a young woman in the driver's seat. She has a long cut in her lower abdomen.
Copenhagen Police's Felix Jørgensen is on the case, and his new deputy Kathrine Nymark gets thrown in the deep end on her very first day on the job, when it becomes clear that a brutal murderer is on the loose.
On some jagged cliffs off a rural district in the south of Norway, a dog walker finds a partly skeletal corpse wearing a wetsuit. At first, the police assume it's just another drowning incident, but the victim doesn't match any people reported missing and then there's also that suture thread in her abdomen.

At a loss to figure out the identity of the Norwegian wetsuit victim, the police send out a notice though Interpol - a black notice. At the same time, it becomes clear that this young woman's death is somehow linked to the murder that Felix and Kathrine are investigating.
When a woman bearing a scar similar to the others is found lifeless and icy cold in a forest lake north of Copenhagen, she could be the most important witness for the police - if only they are able to bring her back from the dead.
But then another young woman in a wetsuit washes up. In Holland.

With the help of a surveillance camera in a French sports equipment shop, investigators manage to identify the wetsuit victims. They turn out to be two, young, Syrian twin sisters living in an infamous refugee camp in Calais, France. But the surveillance tape also shows a suspicious man who seems to be very interested in the young girls.
Another murder of a Syrian refugee in Denmark prompts Norwegian and French investigators to agree that the killer is motivated by racism. But Felix Jørgensen's gut instinct has him doubting that theory. He cannot say exactly why, but something isn't right.
But when an important witness manages to provide valuable information, Felix is now on the hunt for a man with lopsided pupils.

A couple of old yearbooks from a school in a posh suburb north of Copenhagen show a boy who looks eerily similar to the man with the strange eyes. But with the rest of Europe's police focusing on border crossings and refugee camps, Felix is now on his own.
He believes that the killer has a medical background, perhaps even an employee of Denmark's largest hospital, Rigshopitalet, where the first victim worked and where the comatose woman was treated. Felix's deputy Kathrine tries to convince him to let her go to the hospital as a decoy. But is it too risky? Or will it just not even work?
