It is the first thaw of spring and the body of a young woman surfaces in the River Thorne in the far north of Sweden. Rebecka Martinsson is working as a prosecutor in nearby Karuna. Her sleep has been disturbed by haunting visions of a shadowy, accusing figure. Could the body belong to the ghost in her dreams? And where is the dead girl's boyfriend? Joining forces once again with Police Inspectors Anna-Maria Mella, Rebecka is drawn into an investigation...

Set in Sweden's "beautiful and menacing" arctic region, these "spine-chilling mysteries" (The Wall Street Journal) follow prosecutor Rebecka Martinsson as she investigates crimes in her remote hometown. But as Rebecka buries herself in her work, she can't escape family secrets that start to resurface, the pull of her old life in Stockholm, and her complicated feelings for her colleague, Krister.
