La desaparición de Linnea, una niña de cuatro años, de una granja en las afueras de Fjällbacka, despierta trágicos recuerdos. A través de tres líneas temporales, —el presente, un caso sin resolver de hace treinta años, y el relato del siglo XVII —, y cuatro tramas conectadas entre ellas, Camilla ha conseguido componer su novela más ambiciosa hasta la fecha y que si comienzas a leer no podrás parar hasta el final.

Estamos en pleno mes de enero y en Fjällbacka hace un frío polar. Una joven medio desnuda deambula por el bosque nevado y llega a la carretera. Un coche aparece de la nada y no tiene tiempo de esquivarla. Cuando el comisario Patrik Hedström y su equipo reciben la alarma sobre el accidente, la chica ya ha sido identifi cada. Desapareció cuatro meses atrás y desde entonces no se ha sabido nada de ella. Su cuerpo tiene marcas de atrocidades inimaginables, y es posible que no sea la única, ni la última víctima de su agresor. Al mismo tiempo, Erica Falck investiga una vieja tragedia familiar que acabó con la muerte de un hombre. Erica sospecha que su esposa oculta algo terrible y teme que el pasado proyecte su alargada sombra sobre el presente.

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.
