Linda feels a deep connection to Birgitta, and in the months that follow she compulsively researches the case.   Meanwhile, a life is taking root inside Linda; she is to have a daughter of her own. As she grapples with the wonder and anxiety of motherhood, she gradually pieces together Birgitta's story, closing in on the possible killer.
