In the beautiful forested lake-town of Sorbinowo, Sergeant Merwin Kluuge's tranquil existence is shattered when he receives a phone call from an anonymous woman. She tells him that a girl has gone missing from the summer camp of the mysterious The Pure Life, a religious sect buried deep in the woods. Chief Inspector Van Veeteren is recruited to help solve the mystery. But Van Veeteren's investigations at The Pure Life go nowhere fast. The strange priest-like figure who leads the sect - -Oscar Yellineck - refuses even to admit anyone is missing. Things soon take a sinister turn, however, when a young girl's body is discovered in the woods, raped and strangled; and Yellineck himself disappears. Yet even in the face of these new horrors, the remaining members of the sect refuse to co-operate with Van Veeterent. As the body count rises, a media frenzy descends upon the town and the pressure to find the monster behind the murders weighs heavily on the investigative team.

Urmatoarea constatare cumplita este aceea ca proaspata lui sotie, Eva Ringmar, zace inecata in cada. Pentru ca pare evident ca el a facut-o, neexistand nicio dovada in alt sens, si pentru ca Mitter nu se poarta ca si cum ar fi nevinovat, juriul il condamna pentru crima. Dar din exact aceleasi motive, inspector-sef Van Veeteren, un tip experimentat si cu fler, banuieste ca rezolvarea acestui caz nu e la indemana oricui. Ancheta il poarta pe coastele cetoase si umede ale taramurilor nordice, in mici sate de pescari uitate de lume, pe autostrazi pustii pe care le strabate singur, ascultand chitara clasica si punandu-si mintea la lucru pentru descalcirea itelor intortocheate ale acestei tragedii. Pe masura ce sapa mai adanc, radacinile contorsionate ale acestor crime violente il vor soca pana si pe el. Hakan Nesser este in mod cert unul dintre cei mai bine vanduti autori de romane politiste. S-a nascut in 1950, in Suedia. Cartile sale au fost publicate in douazeci si cinci de tari, bucurandu-se de un succes fulminant. A fost recompensat cu Glass Key Award (2000). De asemenea, este singurul autor care a primit de trei ori Best Swedish Crime Novel Award.
