Summary
A community torn apart
As a heavy mist rolls into the Swedish coastal town of Fjällbacka, shocking violence shakes the small community to its core. Rolf Stenklo, a famous photographer, is found murdered in his gallery. Two days later, a brutal tragedy on a private island leaves the prestigious Bauer family devastated.
A town full of secrets
With his boss acting strangely, Detective Patrik Hedström is left to lead the investigation. Tensions rise threatening cracks in the team of officers at Tanumshede police station and pressure mounts as the press demand answers.
A reckoning in blood
In pursuit of inspiration for her next true-crime book, Patrik’s wife Erica Falck leaves behind their three children and travels to Stockholm to research the unsolved decades-old murder of a figure from Rolf’s past. As Erica searches for the truth, she realizes that her mystery is connected to Patrik’s case. These threads from the past are woven into the present and old sins leave behind long shadows.
Critic reviews
'A long-awaited return to Fjallbacka that reminds the reader on every page why the series is so popular. Should come with a trigger warning to put everything on hold until finished reading.' Yrsa Sigurdardottir
‘A welcome return for Hedström & Falck with a sublime plot, packed with subtle suspense and intrigue… Camilla Lackberg proving why she’s still the best there is…’ J.M. Dagliesh

Love this series and long awaited new book
I really love this series and was happy to see another instalment. However, the narrator absolutely spoiled it for me, very formal English and lots of mouthy/nasal/grunty sounds which I found really off putting.
