In 1992, at Cheiron Studios in Stockholm, I wrote the ending of The Sign. My name never appeared on the record.

This book is my account of that missing credit - part memoir, part evidentiary brief, part open letter to the man who let it happen.

I assert that I wrote the final lyrical and melodic turn of The Sign, the Ace of Base single that became one of the best-selling songs of the 1990s - the turn to mind and the closing lines, written with the melody attached. I assert that Jonas Berggren heard it, used it, and let the song go to registration without my name on it.
