Thirty-four years old, blonde, single, divorced with a teenage daughter, Fors is the most driven superintendent who has ever worked at the police force in her small, isolated town. And the most talented. In her job, she is constantly moving through the borderland between life and death. Her path in life is violent and hazardous.

Linköping, Sweden, is surrounded by a landscape of plains and forests—a faultline on the edges of society where time seems to have stood still and where some people live entirely according to their own rules. In the early hours of a frigid night, during the coldest February anyone can remember, the bloody body of an obese man, stripped bare and horribly mutilated, is found hanging from a lone oak tree in the middle of a frozen, snow-covered, and windswept plain not far from town.

The young superintendent Malin Fors is assigned to the case. Together with her colleagues from the Investigation Section of Linköping's Crime Unit, she must track down the identity of the man in the tree and the reason why he ended up there. And at the same time they must follow in the frigid wake of a killer who has just begun his work. It is a manhunt that will take Malin into the darkest corners of the human heart where the sins of the past—hidden away—all too often wreak havoc from one generation to the next.

2.5 (Razoável)

Cansativo

De início, é um livro muito bom, que te prende e te deixa fascinado pela conclusão do mistério. No entanto, como nem tudo são flores, ele deixa a desejar, conforme o livro avança, ele estagna, tudo para de ser resolvido, absolutamente nada acontece. Tem acontecimentos irrelevantes para a conclusão da história, como por exemplo o jantar na casa do namorado da filha da detetive. Um livro com muitas páginas que perde o conteúdo ao decorrer dele, voltando para o foco do mistério apenas quando estamos chegando no fim.
Muita encheção de linguiça.
