Kadotetut

Olli Repo, the advertising man turned policeman from the author's debut, has climbed fast and now trains police cadets, shaping how they think. Privately he is adrift and alone, unsure of his own moral footing, and both on duty and at home he has to confront his failings. Around him, young people crave notice and get none. Minor celebrities vanish, menacing posts appear on online forums, and a boy of thirteen is discovered drugged in a garage. Between the twists of the case, the book pauses to wonder whether policing makes any sense, and whether help ever goes far enough.
