Marie Wall, celebre star di Hollywood, torna a Fjällbacka per girare un film su Ingrid Bergman, attirando l'attenzione della comunità. Trent'anni prima, da adolescente, Marie e la sua migliore amica erano state accusate dell'omicidio di Stella, una bambina di quattro anni, un evento che aveva scosso profondamente il paese. Quando un'altra bambina scompare misteriosamente nelle stesse circostanze, il ricordo di quel tragico passato riemerge. È davvero solo una coincidenza? Patrik Hedström e la sua squadra devono indagare per scoprire se esiste un legame tra i due eventi, scavando nella verità taciuta per anni. Erica, già coinvolta nel caso di Stella, è determinata a supportare la polizia, utilizzando la sua abilità di investigare su vecchi omicidi per rivelare cosa sia realmente accaduto e perché. Nel frattempo, cresce la paura dell'ignoto e del diverso, alimentando un clima di sospetto e odio. In una sorta di rinnovata caccia alle streghe, la stessa terra che un tempo aveva visto roghi in nome di una folle lotta contro il demonio rischia di bruciare nuovamente, perdendosi in un'oscurità profonda.

It's been a long, dark time since a gruesome discovery drew U.S. Forest Service ranger Lance Hansen into a murder investigation that is now approaching a resolution—although not to his satisfaction. In fact, the mysteries have been multiplying and getting uncomfortably close to home. On the run after a hunting expedition with his brother, Andy, went awry, Lance is haunted by visions of Swamper Caribou, the Ojibwe medicine man whose death a century earlier remains unexplained. Willy Dupree, Lance's former father-in-law, has the ability to interpret dreams—and what he reveals may be key to understanding both deaths, past and present. Reluctantly taking on the role of detective, Lance uncovers troubling connections and grim secrets that will shake him to his very core.In the final installment of his award-winning Minnesota Trilogy, Norwegian crime writer Vidar Sundstøl’s affinity for the northern world of Lake Superior is on full display—as Lance’s search takes him from the wilds of the Boundary Waters to outposts steeped in voyageur history and Ojibwe culture, from the streets of the Twin Cities to the gritty port of Duluth, to the sleepy tourist towns that dot the North Shore—and as the mysteries of love and nature, history and culture merge in a powerful conclusion.

A Norwegian tourist has been found murdered on the shore of Lake Superior--right where an Ojibwe man may have been killed more than one hundred years earlier. Four months later, the official investigation is supposedly over but still not resolved, and U.S. Forest Service officer Lance Hansen, drawn into the mystery by his grisly discovery of the body, is uncovering clues disturbingly close to home. His former father-in-law, Willy Dupree, may hold the key to the century-old murder of Swamper Caribou. And his own brother, Andy, might know more than he's telling--more than he should know--about the recent homicide. The relationship between the brothers takes a dangerous turn as their annual deer hunt becomes a deadly game. Steeped in the rich history of Lake Superior's rugged North Shore, this follow-up to the Riverton Prize-winning The Land of Dreams pursues two tales through a bleak and beautiful landscape haunted by the lives and dreams of its Scandinavian immigrants and Native Americans. Hansen finds himself equally haunted by the complex mysteries that continue to unravel around him.

Niels Bentzon è un poliziotto diverso dagli altri. Uno dall’arma poco facile, noto in tutta Copenaghen per i suoi metodi non convenzionali. Niels è un negoziatore, chiamato a risolvere situazioni con ostaggi in pericolo di vita. Ma è anche un uomo scomodo. Per questo, i suoi superiori gli assegnano un caso in apparenza banale e poco importante. La segnalazione giunge da un poliziotto di Venezia, tramite Interpol: qualcuno sta uccidendo una ad una alcune persone particolari, da un capo all’altro del mondo. Tutte le vittime hanno strani segni sulla schiena, che non sono tatuaggi ma nemmeno ferite. E tutte avevano una cosa in comune, una sola: erano persone stimate, amate, dedite agli altri. Erano persone buone. C’è un disegno dietro tutti questi omicidi, ma nessuno pare vederlo. C’è un killer, forse più di uno, che agisce secondo un ordine prestabilito. Ogni omicidio è calcolato, e secondo questi calcoli la prossima vittima sarà a Venezia. Oppure proprio a Copenaghen. Niels si trova di fronte a un compito quasi impossibile, per un poliziotto abituato a dare la caccia ai «cattivi»: deve trovare l’ultimo uomo buono e impedire che venga ucciso.
