A woman is found dead in a hotel room in Gothenburg. When Erik Winter arrives at the scene of the murder he realises that he has been there before, in that very same room. And that was also about a woman. A missing woman, a case he never managed to solve. Winter saw something then, eighteen years ago. Something that he ought to have understood, to have interpreted, but which he missed. Something which might also be of importance for the new case with the dead woman. Did the two women have more in common than room number 10?
Erik Winter is now a father of two children. His family is down in Marbella with granny, Erik’s mother. And Erik himself is soon going to take several months off to look after the children. As soon as Paula’s murder is solved. And then there is yet another murder. Åke Edwardson’s new novel about Erik Winter and his colleagues in the Gothenburg Police, is his seventh. The books about Erik Winter have been translated into more than twenty languages. He is now being introduced by major publishers in England and the USA.
Translation rights sold to France, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Estonia, Germany and the Netherlands.

"Edwardson’s prose is elegant as always …" Jan Mårtensson, Sydsvenska Dagbladet
"Åke Edwardson knows all the elements of dramaturgy … in the manner of Hitchcock, he lets the reader remain uncertain in crucial moments. The suspense tightens." Gunder Andersson, Aftonbladet
"He is a master when it comes to the art of constructing an intelligent plot, the first essential of any good crime thriller." Nils Schwartz, Expressen
