The Plot

The remote resort of Fjällbacka has seen its share of disaster , though perhaps none worse than that of the young child found in a fisherman′s net.[15] But the gruesome post-mortem shows that this is no case of accidental drowning; not by a long chalk.[16]The death of Sara, an eight-year-old girl is no less shocking for Patrik Hedström having just become a father.[17]This is a child both he and his partner Erica knew well.[18] It is his grim task to discover who could be behind the methodical murder.[19] [20] What he does not know is how this case will reach into the dark heart of Fjällbacka and the town′s past, and tear aside its idyllic façade, perhaps forever.[21]
