From the new kid on the block in Scandinavian crime, this
atmospheric debut has already reached the top 10 in Sweden One
December morning in a small rural town on the Swedish coast, Ake
Melkersson is on his way to work when his car breaks down. He spots
a garage nearby, but as he approaches he realizes something is
wrong. The owner of the garage lies dead, sprawled on the ground,
his lower body crushed where a car has repeatedly driven over him.
The murder investigation is led by Inspector Christian Tell, known
as something of a lone wolf, but he has very few clues to go on and
the deceased's wife is out of the country on holiday. Cut to 10
years earlier--Maya Granith is living at a college for troubled
teenagers after escaping her shattered home and her neurotic
mother. But when an older student takes an overbearing interest in
her things begin to go wrong. Back in the present, another murder
occurs when a man is shot in the head; again his body is driven
over several times. Tell is becoming increasingly involved with a
reporter but their relationship is complicated--especially when
aspects of the case remind the reporter of someone she knew who
went missing 10 years earlier.
