An atmospheric new thriller set on the island of Gotland, from Sweden's new crime-writing star. The dead man was a drunk; a regular on the park benches of Gotland's city centre. To keep their lives simple, Chief Inspector Anders Knutas and Detective Karin Jacobsson are tempted to assume that the victim died as a result of a drunken brawl but all of the clues point to something more sinister. Then 14-year old Fanny Jansson vanishes and, assisted by ambitious TV reporter Johan Berg, they begin to realise the truth is much closer to home than they'd ever imagine.
