A four-year-old girl goes missing near Fjällbacka, and the case is a mirror of one thirty years earlier, when two teenage girls confessed to killing a child and were later released. Both women are back in town. Detective Patrik Hedström works the present case while his wife Erica, a true crime writer, digs into the old one, and Läckberg braids in a much older thread from the seventeenth-century witch trials in the same district. Tenth in the Fjällbacka series, and the small coastal town, everyone knowing everyone, is what the whole run is built on.
