DI Irene Huss has been tasked with interviewing an eleven year old girl
who is in a catatonic state after her house has been burned to the
ground. There were two other fires started in the area recently. Is the girl responsible for setting them? Huss has no luck in getting the girl
to speak. Meantime Irene and her partner, Tommy, have other
investigations to work on. As a result, the case of the child and the
fire are shelved and with time forgotten.
Fifteen years later, Irene finds herself investigating the death of that
same girl. Her body had been discovered three weeks after her
disappearance. It was found burned beyond recognition. The autopsy
revealed that the young woman had been injured and drugged during the
time of her disappearance and her death.
During the investigation, Krister, Huss' husband falls ill. It is as a
result of this illness that Huss has an insight into the death of the
young woman. Author Helene Tursten has once again written an very good
thriller. I found it hard to it put down.
