Synopsis

A young girl disappears while cycling to volleyball practice. Her bike is found in exactly the same place that another girl was murdered, thirty-three years before. The original perpetrator was never brought to justice - could they have struck again? The eeriness of the crime unsettles not only the police and public, but also someone who has been carrying a burden of guilt for many years...Detective Kimmo Joentaa calls upon the help of his older colleague Jetola, who worked on the original murder, in the hope that they can solve both cases. But as their investigation begins, Kimmo discovers that the truth is not always what you expect.

A genuinely gripping crime thriller with a psychological twist * Aesthetica *
Similar in tone to Mankell's early Wallander novels, this one drifts up off the page with all the deadly intensity of mustard gas * Irish Times *
