After a turbulent time, twenty-three-year-old Josefine believes she has the situation under control. Together with newfound friends, she has solved the mystery surrounding Henry, the unknown restaurant guest from whom she inherited an apartment and thousands of old books. With the help of Dante at the antiquarian bookshop Skattkammaren, she has managed to clear the new home of debris, make herself at home and the future looks bright. Not least, she has found a solution to how to get rid of the threat from her past, even if it has come with a price.

But one day a letter arrives to the dead Henry that raises new questions. At work, Josefine learns that she is no longer welcome and it soon becomes clear that the past cannot be swept under the carpet. Old lies come to light and once again Josefine must enlist Dante's help to unravel a web of old family secrets, where nothing is what it seems. Will she dare to come to terms with her past once and for all? And Viktor, will he still be there if she reveals the truth?

The Book Collector's Daughter is a winding story about identity, dreams, and how the path through the darkness, even if it hurts, may be the one that takes us to the light.
