Some crimes never lapse…

On a freezing winter day in January 2006, the police in Hudiksvall, Sweden, make a gruesome discovery: In a small village 18 people were brutally murdered. The police suspect a madman has committed the crime. As judge Birgitta Roslin hears about the case, she instantly realizes that her grand-parents August and Britta Andrén are among the victims. There’s more: Almost all murder victims are distantly related to her. She realizes that the police are investigating a wrong track and starts investigations of her own. This leads her to China, where she discovers cruel activities of the leading elite.
