Inspector Irene Huss and Superintendent Andersson go in search of a
young teacher who has been reported missing. They find him dead,
murdered in his house. When Huss goes to inform the parents of the
death of their son, she finds them also murdered in their home. In both
cases a star inside a circle has been smeared in blood on the victims'
computer monitor. Who would want to wipe out an entire family?
It also appears that the computer hard drives at both locations have
been wiped. The star in a circle is a pentagram, a symbol of satanists.
The pathologist is sure that it wasn't a ritualistic killing. Huss
needs to travel to London to question the daughter of the victim to see
if she can provide any background to the killings. Later it is
discovered that the daughter had been investigating a computer-based
paedophile ring. Could that have any connection to the satanists?
Author Helen Tursten subtly suggests to the reader a few possible
suspects as this murder mystery unfolds. It comes to a surprising
conclusion. A very good read.
