Rebecka Martinsson is heading home to Kiruna, the town she'd left in disgrace years before. A Stockholm attorney, Rebecka has a good reason to return: her friend, Sanna, whose brother has been horrifically murdered in the revivalist church his charisma helped create. Beautiful and fragile, Sanna needs someone like Rebecka to remove the shadow of guilt that is engulfing her, to forestall an ambitious prosecutor and a dogged policewoman.

Chargée de l'enquête, la procureure Rebecka Martinsson ne tarde pas à recouper ces faits a priori sans rapport : les deux victimes avaient un lien de parenté ; ils étaient père et fille.

It's midsummer in Sweden, when the light lingers through dawn as winter finally ends.

And the further she is drawn into a mystery that will soon claim another victim, the more the dead woman's world consumes her - a world of hurt and healing, sin and sexuality, and above all, of lethal sacrifice.
