SOMEONE IS WATCHING SIRI BERGMAN.
A thirty-four-year-old psychologist with a troubled past, Siri
Bergman works in central Stockholm and lives alone in an isolated
cottage outside the city. Terrified of the dark, she leaves all the
lights on when she goes to bed--after having a few glasses of wine
to calm her nerves--but she can't shake the feeling that someone is
spying on her through the blackened windows.
When the lifeless body of Sara Matteus--a young patient of Siri's
with a history of drug addiction and sexual abuse--is found
floating in the water near the cottage, Siri can no longer deny
that someone is out there, watching her and waiting. With the help
of Markus, the young policeman investigating Sara's death; Vijay,
an old friend and psychology professor; and Aina, her best friend,
Siri sets out to catch the murderer and finally put her past to
rest. But as their investigation unfolds, virtually everyone Siri
trusts will become a potential suspect.
It's a rainy evening in a Stockholm suburb and five-year-old Tilda
is hiding under the kitchen table playing with her crayons when a
man enters and beats her mother to death in cold blood. The only
witness, Tilda can't quite see the murderer or figure out who he
is. But she's still a witness.
Across town, Siri Bergman and her best friend, Aina, are assisting
their old friend Vijay with a research project on domestic abuse.
They host a weekly self-help group for survivors, and over the
course of several dark, rainy evenings, these women share their
stories of impossible love, violence, and humiliation. When the
boyfriend of one of the women turns out to be a prime suspect in a
high-profile murder case, it isn't long before Siri finds herself
embroiled in the investigation. But as she draws closer to finding
the murderer, unexpected developments in her own life force her to
wonder: Can she learn to trust a man again in spite of being
surrounded by women who have been so deeply betrayed by love?
