Description
On the peaceful summer residential
allotments in Simrishamn, a dog is killed. A few weeks later, so is one
of the plot holders. She is a woman who had access to many secrets that
certain locals wouldn't want to come to light. As Anita Sundstrom's team
is brought in to investigate, the chief inspector also has to deal with the
disappearance of a British archaeology student who has gone missing in Sweden
while searching for an ex-colleague, who has also vanished.
The case, brought to her by her
long-time, long-distance partner, Detective Kevin Ash, who has run into a dead
end in the UK, seems to be linked to two separate archaeological digs - one in
Skane and the other in the famous Viking centre of Birka. So, what has
this all to do with a Scanian Viking who once fought in the Varangian Guard for
a Byzantine emperor? Anita Sundstrom needs to find out before another
life is lost.
