Birta shares a rundown basement apartment with complete strangers, a life she has chosen rather than living in her hometown, which she left behind after coming out as trans at a little party with family and friends. But then the woman in the next room vanishes without a trace and then another woman as well. Who are these women and what has become of them? And what is going on with Johanna, her classmate? Does she have a crush on Birta? Does she even realize who Birta is? An exciting book, written in the Nordic Noir tradition and touching on important social issues.
