An einem frostigen Januartag 2006 macht die Polizei von Hudiksvall eine grausige Entdeckung. In einem kleinen Dorf ist ein Massaker begangen worden, achtzehn Menschen wurden auf bestialische Weise getotet. Die Polizei vermutet die Tat eines Wahnsinnigen. Als die Richterin Brigitta Roslin von der Tat liest, wird ihr sofort klar, dass ihre Adoptiveltern August und Britta Andren unter den Mordopfern sind. Und mehr noch: So gut wie alle Ermordeten haben etwas mit ihr zu tun. Am Tatort hat die Polizei ein rotes Seidenband gefunden. Durch einen Zufall entdeckt Brigitta Roslin, dass das Band von einer Lampe in einem Chinarestaurant in Hudiksvall stammt. Sie erkennt, dass die Polizei eine falsche Spur verfolgt, und beginnt selbst zu recherchieren.

Work Description
The acclaimed author of the Kurt Wallander mysteries, writing at the height of his powers, now gives us an electrifying stand-alone global thriller.January 2006. In the Swedish hamlet of Hesjovallen, nineteen people have been massacred. The only clue is a red ribbon found at the scene. Judge Birgitta Roslin has particular reason to be shocked: Her grandparents, the Andrens, are among the victims, and Birgitta soon learns that an Andren family in Nevada has also been murdered. She then discovers the nineteenth-century diary of an Andren ancestor--a gang master on the American transcontinental railway--that describes brutal treatment of Chinese slave workers. The police insist that only a lunatic could have committed the Hesjovallen murders, but Birgitta is determined to uncover what she now suspects is a more complicated truth.The investigation leads to the highest echelons of power in present-day Beijing, and to Zimbabwe and Mozambique. But the narrative also takes us back 150 years into the depths of the slave trade between China and the United States--a history that will ensnare Birgitta as she draws ever closer to solving the Hesjovallen murders.From the Hardcover edition.
