Annika Bengtzon's home has just been fire bombed, but fortunately she and her two children have escaped.  She goes to her friend Anne's home, but in a fit of spite, Anne turns them away.

At the same time a well known police officer. David Lindholm, has been killed in his home, his child kidnapped and his wife, Julia, is catatonic as a result.  She is also the prime suspect.  Nina Hoffman, Julia's best friend is the first officer on the scene.  Nina is shocked to hear from DI Q that her friend had resigned from the force recently and not told her.  Q wants her to question her friend.

Annika has been assigned to look into the killing because she had done a piece on the two policewomen earlier.  However, her life is unravelling before her eyes.  The insurance company is holding back payment on her house while the arson investigation is ongoing and her husband has left her for another woman.  She is also a potential suspect for the arson to her house.

As Annika investigates David, she comes to the realisation that Julia may not be guilty of his murder.  Will Annika be able to prove her innocence without endangering herself and her children?  How can she do it.  Once again, author Liza Marklund has written an excellent thriller.  This is a book, which is hard to put down.
