Six months after the revelations in a long-lost testament testament shook the Falck family to its core.Hans Falck, who had most to gain from the contentious will, lingers in a hospital bed in northern Norway, gravely injured in an accident.

Yet there are reasons to be cautious - relations with Russia are strained, with Norway's old Cold War adversary reborn.The stakes are further raised when reports reach Sasha's ears of a foreign spy in the foundation, sparking a desperate hunt for the mole.
