When linguist Edvard Tøssentern vanishes into thin air in pursuit of an obsession, his companion Anna Camenes flies to the Ferendes to look for him. There, Edvard's colleagues are increasingly disturbed by nefarious activities taking place around their research station. When a second man goes missing, intelligence analyst Richard Worse joins the investigation. Together, they will face cold-hearted villainy - and mysteries more baffling than the mind can conjure.
