Book description
It's autumn in Gothenburg and an anxious mother calls the police: her
little boy was lured into a car by a man offering sweets. The child is
returned unharmed but then the same thing happens with a little girl,
and then another. Each child attends a different nursery, and each
parent contacts a different police station, so, at first, no
connection is established and the reports are filed and then forgotten.
Meanwhile DCI Winter is investigating a series of random attacks on
strangely uncooperative university students, but when a a
four-year-old boy is abducted and found injured, the forgotten files
resurface and a link between the stories becomes apparent. As
Gothenburg prepares for Christmas, Winter is in a race against time to
prevent a horrific catastrophe.
