Publisher Notes
As she walks through the forest outside a remote Swedish village in 1974, a woman stumbles upon the site of a grisly double murder--a crime that will remain unsolved for nearly 20 years.
Media Reviews
"Ekman pays more attention to the demands of the genre than one would expect. Sometimes she's mischievous....Sometimes, however, she plays the game, carefully placing physical and psychological clues that pave the way to the surprises at the end....[The novel is] an investigation of violence, a description of the changes in social life that are violence's context, a mapping of the human ties that counteract it all, achieved without abstraction and with great tenderness and anger."
First Line
A sound woke her.
