A man overboard on a ferry. A shooting in a cinema. Is ex-policewoman Lyra Norton's best friend next?
When her best friend's father-in-law dies in the Sound between Sweden and Denmark, Irish forensic linguist Lyra Norton rushes to Sweden to comfort Olive. When Olive's own father is murdered, Lyra realizes that the case is much bigger than anyone anticipated and nowhere near solved.
Piecing together clues with the help of a local policewoman, Lyra establishes several motives for the murders. When the authorities lose interest, she must choose between the quiet life of an academic or a return to solving crimes.
Can Lyra find the murderer before Olive becomes the next victim?
