Publisher's Synopsis
In the turmoil of the 1974 Cyprus conflict, a Greek-Cypriot woman and her newborn vanished without a trace, their fate buried under decades of political blame and unanswered questions. Now, a cryptic tip-off threatens to expose the truth-if someone dares to uncover it. Konrad Aalborg, a career UN diplomat, is leading the search for Cyprus's missing. Haunted by personal demons, entangled in failed relationships, and torn between duty and conscience, he stumbles upon a secret that could shake the fragile peace process, ignite an international scandal, and end his career. Pursuing the truth means defying both the Cypriot government and his UN superiors-risking everything for justice. As political intrigue, inter-ethnic tensions, and diplomatic power plays tighten around him, an encounter with a mysterious woman forces Konrad to confront not just the ghosts of the past but also his own beliefs about honor, duty, and love. In a world where the UN's influence is waning and every move is a dangerous gamble, will he uphold the status quo-or risk everything for the truth and a love he never expected?
