Mari Jungstedt è un'acclamata autrice svedese di popolare narrativa poliziesca, le cui narrazioni sono spesso immerse nell'evocativa atmosfera dell'isola di Gotland. Attingendo a un background giornalistico per la radio e la televisione nazionale svedese, infonde alle sue storie un acuto senso del dettaglio e una profonda comprensione della natura umana. I suoi romanzi intrecciano abilmente misteri intricati con l'ambiente unico della vita isolana, offrendo ai lettori un viaggio avvincente nel suspense scandinavo. Lo stile distintivo di Jungstedt risiede nella sua capacità di creare personaggi complessi e trame avvincenti, consolidando la sua reputazione di maestra del genere.







The island of Gotland is in the middle of a busy tourist season, and getting ready for Midsummer holidays, when a young woman and her dog are found brutally murdered. The dog has been beheaded and is missing a paw; the woman has been stabbed repeatedly, and is naked, with a piece of cloth stuffed in her mouth. What looks like a crime committed by the victim's jealous husband keeps the local police force on their toes. Then a second victim is found. It seems a serial killer is terrorizing tourists and locals alike, and Inspector Anders Knutas has to face additional pressure from the media and local politicians who are worried about bad PR for the island. In his quest for the murderer, he is aided by Johan Berg, an intrepid young journalist from Stockholm who has been sent to cover the incidents and who gets involved with Emma, one of the first victim's close friends. Three women die before Knutas and Berg, each approaching the case in their own way, finally close in on the killer, who has always, until now, been the one unseen by everybody.
