How did human minds become so different from those of other animals? What accounts for our capacity to understand the way the physical world works, to think ourselves into the minds of others, to gossip, read, tell stories about the past, and imagine the future? These questions are not new: they have been debated by philosophers, psychologists, anthropologists, evolutionists, and neurobiologists over the course of centuries. One explanation widely accepted today is that humans have special cognitive instincts.

Begravningsentreprenör Fridlund gör så gott han kan, det blir bara lite fel ibland. Som till exempel vid Anton Bengtsons begravning. På heder och samvete var det inte meningen att det skulle bli som det blev. Är det då så konstigt att han behöver en sup.

Först kom En spricka i kristallen, sedan Stäpplöperskan, båda lika hyllade. Nu kommer den tredje fristående delen om Suss liv, en kvinna som fortfarande är lika sammansatt, lika stark och sårbar som i de båda första böckerna men som har lärt sig att hon kan resa sig och sätta hårt mot hårt när det gäller. Det finns de som tror att de kan lura vem som helst. På grund av den starka övertygelsen lyckas de också ofta, och de intalar sig att om människor låter sig förledas och förföras är de inte värda något bättre. De slår blå dunster i folks ögon, de ljuger, bedrar och stjäl från dem som de säger sig älska.

Die Vergangenheit wurde im einst so friedlichen Königreich von Hochbergen bereits zur Gegenwart. Die Schatten, die durch das Land ziehen, verheißen nichts Gutes. Auch die Pläne aller Beteiligten scheinen nicht aufzugehen, sondern werden von Zweifeln durchkreuzt: Zweifel an sich selbst, am jeweiligen Auftrag, an den Verbündeten und den gesetzten Zielen. Egal, ob es sich um die junge Novizin Madeleine, das Höllengeschöpf Usgalman und seine neun Untugenden oder den edlen Ritter Gernod und seinen König handelt - anscheinend alle beginnen ihr Handeln zu überdenken oder verlieren ihr ursprüngliches Ziel aus den Augen.
