All his life, Viggo Larssen has been haunted by the same troubling dream, which he calls the Omen a vision of a woman beckoning to him from the surface of a churning sea. Now, as he broods over his shipwrecked existence in a remote lighthouse off the outermost coast of Denmark, he is about to be borne backward by the current to a past he thought he had escaped forever.On the Danish mainland, the widowed mother of the nation s prime minister mysteriously vanishes from her prestigious nursing home. As the police search for clues, evidence mounts that her disappearance is tied to an unsolved crime from Viggo s childhood. Told through the eyes of multiple characters from Viggo s old neighborhood, Erik Valeur s dark, serpentine mystery is a profound meditation on the persistence of memory, the power of dreams, and the secrets we hide from one another and ourselves."
