Book description
In the first thaw of spring the body of a young woman surfaces in the
River Thorne. Rebecka Martinsson is working as a prosecutor in nearby
Kiruna. Her sleep has been disturbed by haunting visions of a shadowy,
accusing figure. Could the body belong to the ghost in her dreams?
Joining forces once again with Police Inspector Anna-Maria Mella,
Martinsson is drawn into an investigation that focuses on old rumours
about the disappearance of a plane carrying supplies for the Wehrmacht
in 1943. Shame and secrecy shroud the locals' memories of the war,
with Sweden's early collaboration with the Germans still a raw wound.
And on the windswept shore of a frozen lake lurks a killer who will
kill again to keep the past buried for ever beneath half a century's
silent ice and snow.
