A Swedish county commissioner walks out of a high-level meeting and disappears. Many years later, one of the town's natives is convinced that he's caught a glimpse of the missing man while travelling in Bangalore, India. When the rumours reach his hometown, a veteran police officer stumbles across a seemingly unrelated case.

But the owner of the house where the victim is believed to have lived is no longer able to answer any questions...

This spellbinding story opens one snowy day when 35-year-old Laura Hindersten goes to the police to report that her father, a local professor, is missing. Police Inspector Ann Lindell and her colleagues can find no motive for the man's disappearance. And when the corpse of an elderly man does turn up, the dead man is not Laura's father. As single-parent Ann Lindell searches for connections between these crimes, she is distracted by a new and very handsome colleague. And then Laura Hindersten finds herself making a sizzling attempt to seduce a very married man. Both romantic involvements lead to fireworks. When yet another old man is murdered, Inspector Lindell realizes a deranged killer may be closer than she thinks.
