Violent death has been visited upon a home for troubled girls in Sweden.
At this time DI Joona Linna has received a cryptic message about his
daughter who has been missing for some time. He needs to search for
some answers and takes some leave to do just that. He is asked by his
senior officer to be an observer on the above case.
Detective Gunnarsson is not impressed that Linna is going to be
observing, however, the scene of crime officers are. Linna wonders why
the victim's body is clean of blood, yet blood is spattered all about
the room. Could the murderer have escaped and stolen a car with a child
in it? If that is the case, where is the car?
When the prosecutor finds out that Linna is under review, she removes
him from the case. Linna doesn't give up however. Checking with a
profiler, they come to the conclusion that the young girl thought to
have committed the murders couldn't be the killer.
Meantime, Flora Hansen has started to see visions of the girl. She has
seen her with the murder weapon. She tries to get the police to listen
to her, but the person she talks to thinks she is just a crazy woman.
Only and Joona and three others know about the murder weapon; how could
Flora know?
Author Lars Kepler has written an intense murder mystery with many
twists and surprises. This is a novel that you will not want to put
down. An extremely good read.
