About This Book

Una tarde de primavera de 1992, la joven agente inmobiliaria Louise Akerblom es brutalmente asesinada en una solitaria y apartada granja de Escania. Un caso difícil para la polícia, pues, a primera vista, no hay un móvil claro, y todo parece indicar que la muchacha sólo vio algo que no debía ver.
