Riga, Easter 1998. Rebecca Maywald disappears without a trace, leaving behind an 8-year-old daughter. Years later, an anonymous letter sets events in motion that will change the lives of two families forever.
Berlin, 2023: Mathilda, a former mountain infantry soldier, provokes a car accident in order to make contact with Falk von Prokhoff, the scion of a respected diplomatic family. Her reason remains unclear at first. But she did not expect to fall in love with him. A dangerous game involving fake identities, undiscovered crimes, and the dubious machinations of the „Drei Linden” family foundation begins.
