Some fairy tales don’t get happy endings. With miles to cross until her next mission and still no sign from Lisa, K is worried sick. The radio silence has her thinking the worst, but at least her new case keeps her mind occupied. Five children have gone missing in this quiet suburban town, and the only clue their kidnapper left behind is fairy tale tokens. Now, they’re about to strike again, weaving a new devilish tale. After she puts the pieces of the sickening puzzle together, K discovers that avoiding the incompetent local police force was a clever move. But it seems she is not the only one jumping on the chase of this twisted fantasy. Stumbling upon a blog that links the cases in detail makes the writer’s involvement clear in all this. How did they escape the kidnappings, and why don’t they want to catch the perpetrator? Before long, an unlikely encounter with a media creator sets the gears of the case in motion. It’s all about connections, and K is willing to play this game if it means saving those children’s lives. But after receiving a call she had been expecting for weeks, K finally learns what has happened to Lisa… and the discovery breaks her for good.
