La polizia di Oslo indaga sull’omicidio di un ladro di cadaveri: nel suo appartamento sono stati ritrovati i resti di corpi a diversi stadi di decomposizione, compreso il cranio della moglie del commissario della polizia criminale svedese Joona Linna. La tomba della donna, morta di cancro qualche anno prima e sepolta in Finlandia, è stata profanata. Le cose si complicano quando a Rostock, in Germania, viene scoperto il cadavere di uno stupratore: nel suo telefono compare il numero di Joona Linna. Due giorni prima di essere ucciso l’uomo ha chiamato il commissario, che ora da Stoccolma giunge sulla scena del crimine per partecipare alle indagini. Il tratto che accomuna entrambe le vittime dall’oscuro passato – il profanatore di Oslo, lo stupratore di Rostock – è la presenza di segni di flagellazione sulla schiena: la firma di Jurek Walter, il peggior serial killer della storia europea. Ma non è possibile, perché Jurek Walter è morto da tempo. Saga Bauer, commissario dei Servizi segreti svedesi e grande amica di Joona, gli ha sparato tre colpi al petto al termine di un lungo inseguimento. Il corpo è finito in mare, ma in seguito la perizia medico-legale ha confermato tutto. Il DNA non mente. E un serial killer non può tornare in vita come Lazzaro. Ma il dubbio si è ormai insinuato nella mente di Joona Linna, mentre cresce vertiginosamente il numero delle vittime marchiate con la stessa, identica firma.

The murder victim, a self-declared Tinder addict. The one solid clue—fragments of rust and paint in her wounds—leaves the investigating team baffled. Two days later, there’s a second murder: a woman of the same age, a Tinder user, an eerily similar scene. The chief of police knows there’s only one man for this case. But Harry Hole is no longer with the force. He promised the woman he loves, and he promised himself, that he’d never go back: not after his last case, which put the people closest to him in grave danger. But there’s something about these murders that catches his attention, something in the details that the investigators have missed. For Harry, it’s like hearing “the voice of a man he was trying not to remember.” Now, despite his promises, despite everything he risks, Harry throws himself back into the hunt for a figure who haunts him, the monster who got away.
