Uncovering class divisions, racial conflicts, and tangled
emotions, this gritty, shocking
novel of suspense heralds the arrival of a major new talent.
Henning Juul is a veteran investigative crime reporter in Oslo,
Norway. A horrific fire killed his six-year-old son, cut scars
across his face, and ended his marriage, and on his first day back
at the job after the terrible tragedy a body is discovered in one
of the city's public parks. A beautiful female college student has
been stoned to death and buried up to her neck, her body left
bloody and exposed. The brutality of the crime shakes the whole
country, but despite his own recent trauma - and the fact that his
ex-wife's new boyfriend is also on the case - Henning is given the
assignment. When the victim's boyfriend, a Pakistani native, is
arrested, Henning feels certain the man is innocent. This was not
simply a Middle Eastern-style honor killing in the face of adultery
- it was a far more complicated gesture, and one that will drag
Henning into a darkness he's never dreamed of.
