A violent robbery. A hit-and-run. A brutal murder. In the stifling
heat of an August morning on the beautiful Swedish island of
Gotland, terror shatters the calm. An armed robbery is over in
minutes, leaving a little girl on the road, hit by the getaway car.
Desperate to find those responsible, the police track down one of
the culprits. But he is dead, brutally murdered at a remote farm.
Tattooed on his arm are three initials: his own and two others. The
only clues to the identity of his friends. As the hunt to find the
remaining two robbers intensifies, there's every chance the
murderer is on their trail too. Can Detective Superintendent Knutas
beat them to it?

'There is an icy, dispassionate grip to Jungstedt's writing that
recalls Henning Mankell' Metro The first body they found was the
dog. The poor creature's throat has been cut, and one paw severed
completely. Then they found the body of the woman. She had been
stabbed, again and again; she was naked, a piece of cloth had been
stuffed into her mouth. The picturesque holiday island of Gotland
is in the middle of a busy tourist season when the young woman is
discovered murdered. Suspicion falls on her husband - the couple
had been seen fighting the evening before. Inspector Anders Knutas
is hoping it will be a straight-forward case; the local authorities
are hoping so too, but more out of an interest in protecting the
tourist trade than any desire to see justice served. Then another
victim is discovered, again she is a young woman and she has been
murdered in the same chilling manner. Inspector Knutas must face up
to the horrifying prospect that there is a serial killer loose on
the island. Knutas, aided by investigative journalist Johan Berg,
begins to piece together the tragic history that unites the two
victims, and alarmingly points to more murders to come. The killer
remains unknown, moving freely, unseen, on the island. All that is
clear is that the two victims are just the beginning, unless Knutas
and Berg find the killer before he strikes again.
