Detta är den 3: dje och avslutande delen av trilogin Kriminalkommissarie Leah Quiller skipar rättvisa två gånger, Uppgörelsen. Leah Quiller har vid ett flertal tillfällen varit hemma på sitt gods på Österlen, där hon alltid är känd under sitt rätta namn, grevinnan Caroline von Steinberg, och för varje gång får hon en allt större längtan att återta sin rätta identitet.
