Summary:

THE NEW THRILLER FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE KURT WALLANDER MYSTERY SERIES December 12, 1945. Nazi Germany lies in ruins as a British warplane lands in Buckeburg. A man carrying a small black bag quickly disembarks and travels to Hameln, where he disappears behind the prison gates. Early the next day, nine male and three female war criminals are hanged. Fifty-four years later, retired policeman Herbert Molin is found brutally slaughtered on his remote farm in Harjedalen, Sweden. At the murder scene, the police discover strange tracks in the blood on the floor . . . as if someone had been practicing the tango. Stefan Lindman, a young police officer on extended sick leave, hears about the murder of his former colleague and decides to investigate it himself. Lindman's inquiry becomes increasingly complex and dangerous as he uncovers the links between Herbert Molin's death and a global web of neo-Nazi activity.
