One hot June day, Leo Junker's mentor is found dead. Charles Levin has been shot in the head in the small village of Bruket. Obsessed with catching the murderer, Leo teams up with local police officer Tove Waltersson, who is leading the investigation. But while he doesn't recognise her, she knows all about him: one fateful night a year earlier, a shoot-out ended when Leo accidentally killed her brother. Working together to uncover Levin's killer, Tove and Leo soon find themselves implicated in a plot that stretches back decades. And when the past catches up with the present, the truth may prove deadly.
