Another chilling Erik Winter thriller from award-winning master of Swedish crime, Åke Edwardson.
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.
