In this short story, we follow Mac, a retired Army man from Scotland, who now makes a living on a farm in the Arctic part of Sweden. But he also has another business on the side: an international service in making wishes come true. This covert and anonymous business is a lucrative one, but the wishes his business fulfills are of a deadly nature. One day, Mac is approached on his website on the dark web with a request that would grant a deeply cherished wish for a group of parents whose children were murdered in a school shooting in Norway years ago. Due to a quirk in Norwegian law, the mass murderer is about to be released from prison. Accepting the request would also solve a decades-long dilemma for the Norwegian government and society. While Mac as a rule always works alone, this unusual request poses several impossible problems for him, and he is about to reject it. But then inside help is offered. Apparently qualified help. Who can the informant be? Can the informant be trusted? How good is his or her information? Can Mac now accept the request? And if he does, should he accept?
With Mac's business conducted in total anonymity, what is the catch? Will Mac be able to do what he is asked to do?
Follow in Mac's footsteps to an unexpected conclusion. # # The story is set in the USA, Sweden, and in Norway, but also in Scotland. The story in this book is fictional but inspired by an atrocious mass murder and murder trial in Norway. This story is fiction - it is nothing more. The only point the author is trying to make is the sometimes too loose relation between crime and punishment, and how this can be perceived by the victims of the crime and the public. In the case of Norway, the relation between crime and punishment was finally lost when a twenty-one-year sentence was set as the consequence of committing the ultimate crime. This book is available as e-book, paperback, and audiobook. It is also available in paperback and e-book in the Dutch language under the title 'De Grote Dag - Een deadline thriller'.
