From the author of Sun Storm comes this disturbing, entrancing, beautifully crafted mystery, winner of Sweden's Best Crime Novel award and an international sensation.
It's midsummer in Sweden, when the light lingers through dawn as the long winter finally ends. In this magical time, a brutal killer strikes, and the murder of a female priest sends shock waves through the community.
With no cause to get involved, attorney Rebecka Martinsson cannot help herself. 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.
