Professor Hans Rekke and police officer Micaela Vargas have earned a reputation for solving the unsolvable. But they’ve never been confronted by a serial killer. Until now.
Rekke receives a visit from Spanish chief inspector Rafael Corales, who is unable to forget the brutal, unsolved murder of a young woman in Santander in 1988. Now other bodies have come to light, marked with signs that seem to be some kind of numerical order. Still recovering from his latest manic episode, his relationship with Vargas strained by a secret she’s keeping, Rekke agrees to help decipher these signs before the killer strikes again.
The victim was an aspiring writer, and clues from her posthumously published short story about a stray dog draw Rekke and Vargas deep into the murk of Sweden’s literary scene. To unmask the killer, Rekke must relearn the difference between fact and fiction, and discover what really happened that night back in the 1980s.
In yet another intricate and exciting puzzle mystery, David Lagercrantz draws on the literary world that he—and we—know all too well to tell a story about guilt, shame, repressed memories, human depravity, and publishing.

Critic reviews
“Engrossing. . . . Deepening his leadsʼ relationship while saddling them with an increasingly intricate mystery, Lagercrantz proves heʼs a master of the sophisticated procedural. This is a winner.” —Publishers Weekly
“A well-plotted tale with echoes of Sherlock Holmes, [continuing] the intriguing series that begins with Dark Music. Uncanny observations permeate the story and make [Rekke] an unusually interesting protagonist. . . . The threats continue to an edge-of-your-seat climax.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred)
