The second psychological thriller from No 1 bestselling Swedish crime sensation Camilla Läckberg.

In the fishing community of Fjällbacka, life is remote, peaceful – and for some, tragically short.

Foul play was always suspected in the disappearance twenty years ago of two young holidaymakers in the area. Now a young boy out playing has confirmed this grim truth. Their remains, discovered with those of a fresh victim, send the town into shock.

Local detective Patrik Hedström, expecting a baby with his girlfriend Erica, can only imagine what it is like to lose a child. When a second young girl goes missing, Hedström's attention focuses on the Hults, a feuding clan of misfits, religious fanatics, and criminals. The suspect list is long but time is short – which of this family's dark secrets will provide the vital clue?

Series: Patrik Hedstrom and Erica Falck
