Linköping’s top detective, Malin Fors, is about to take on a case that’s a little too close for comfort. Her daughter has just discovered a dead body. It is that of a 79-year-old resident at the nursing home where she works. He’s been hung by his own alarm cord.

Praise for the Seasons series:
One of the best-realised female heroines I've read by a male writer.
Meditative. Dark. Really, really cold . . . This is a worthy successor to Larsson's Millennium trilogy . . . This first installment in Kallentoft's crime series is a splendid representative of the Swedish crime novel, in all its elegance and eeriness.
Kallentoft's books have been called beautiful, exquisite and original. I can see why.
