In short:
Retired Army man Mac from Scotland, now runs a farm in Arctic Sweden. One day, Mac is approached to make a wish come true for the parents of murdered children. If he accepts, it will also solve a decades-long dilemma for the Norwegian government. This plot is placed in the USA, Sweden, Norway, and Scotland.

Summary:
In this short story, we follow Mac, a retired Army man from Scotland who now runs a farm in the Arctic part of Sweden. But he still runs his own business on the side, an international service in making wishes come true. This totally anonymous business is a lucrative one but the wishes he fulfills are of a deadly nature.

One day, Mac is approached on his dark web website with a request that would make a wish come true for the parents of murdered children. Accepting the request will also solve a decades-long dilemma for the Norwegian government and Norwegian society.

While as a rule always working alone, this unusual request poses impossible difficulties for Mac. He is about to reject the request. But then inside help is offered. Can the informant be trusted? How good is his or her information? Can Mac accept the request? If so, 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 Mac's trail to perhaps an unexpected conclusion.
