"She is in total control of plot and pace and conveys a chilling atmosphere."—The London Times

Reckless in the grip of passion, a successful event planner leaves his wife and children for his new lover. When he turns up murdered after a big night out, the spurned wife is a natural suspect.

But the motive widens when three cottages are set on fire in the peaceful vacation destination of Gotland Island. In order for Detective Anders Knutas to catch the killer, he must unravel the truth that lies hidden at the heart of a broken family—and face secrets of his own.

Mari Jungstedt is known for her intelligent plots and excruciating suspense novels.

Review:

"Writers such as Henning Mankell may outsell Jungstedt in the UK, but - if there is any justice - she will not remain caviar to the general" Barry Forshaw "There is an icy dispassionate grip to Jungstedt's writing that recalls Henning Mankell" Metro "She is in total control of plot and pace, conveys chilling atmosphere and her characters are well above average for believability" The Times "Jungstedt delivers excellent clammy atmosphere and a constant premonition of weird deaths to come. She's becoming one of Scandinavia's best crime writers, no mean compliment in a crowded field" The Times
