Efter en henvendelse fra en mor dykker Varg Veum ned i Bergens underverden og finder et modbydeligt og dødsensfarligt net af prostitution blandt teenagepiger.

One dark January night a car drives at high speed towards PI Varg Veum, and comes very close to killing him. Veum is certain this is no accident, following so soon after the deaths of two jailed men who were convicted for their participation in a case of child pornography and sexual assault...crimes that Veum himself once stood wrongly accused of committing.

On a frosty January day in Bergen, private detective Varg Veum is visited by a prostitute. Her friend Margrethe hasn't been seen for days. Before her disappearance, something had unsettled her: she'd turned away a customer and returned to the neighbourhood in terror. Shortly after taking the case, Veum is confronted with a brutal reality. He soon finds the first body - and it won't be the last either. His investigation leads him into a dark subculture where corrupted idealism has had deadly consequences.

September 1977. Mette Misvãr, a three-year-old girl, disappears without trace from the sandpit outside her home. Her tiny, close middle-class community in the tranquil suburb of Nordas is devastated, but their enquiries and the police produce nothing. Curtains twitch, suspicions are raised, but Mette is never found.

An unbearably tense novel of revenge, murder, bereavement and the destructive force of passion. The single-mother families of the isolated community under the shadow of the Pyderhorn, Bergen's greatest mountain, are being terrorised by a teenage gang. But teenage violence is nothing compared to what awaits detective Varg Veum when he gets to know the blue-eyed Wenche Andersen.

Et ægtepar i 30´erne er sporløst forsvundet fra deres hjem. Er de blot rejst på ferie, eller har jalousi og misundelse noget med sagen at gøre? En tragisk hændelse fra 1957, et dobbelt dødsfald, som måske var en dødspagt mellem to ulykkeligt forelskede, kaster lange skygger over efterforskningen. Varg Veum blandes ind i langt mere end et kriminalmysterium. Lidt efter lidt tegner der sig en dobbelteksponeret kærlighedshistorie, hvor nutiden spejler sig i fortiden. Og først på de sidste sider falder alle brikkerne på plads.
