Description
International literary sensation Camilla Lackberg takes the drama, suspense, and passion of her #1 bestseller The Ice Princess to new heights, returning to the Swedish fishing community of Fiallbacka, where life is remote, peaceful -- and for some, tragically short.
Police detective Patrik Hedstrem and his girlfriend, writer Erica Falck, are anticipating the arrival of their first child when grim news comes: a boy playing on a perilous outcropping has stumbled across a woman's bloody corpse, a discovery that leads investigators to uncover two skeletons buried beneath her -- campers who disappeared decades ago. Superintendent Mellberg gives Patrik the gruesome case, and topping his list of suspects is a local family of criminals and religious fanatics -- what dark secrets are they hiding? But no one expects the next blow, when a young girl goes missing....
