From a bestselling and award winning Danish author.

During a snowstorm, an 8 year-old boy is found dead in a stream running through a village in Denmark. He has been strangled with a fishing line and has severe burn marks on his hands.

The investigation of the killing of the boy goes in several directions. To an old man with a dark past and a collection of beetles, to a boy with a cell phone and a guilty conscience, and to a drowning accident in the same stream thirty years ago.

Police-inspector Daniel Trokic is handling the case with his team, and while the snow is slowly melting, a terribly painful story is revealed.
