Before the weekend is over, two members of the Hermansson family are missing, and it's up to Inspector Barbarotti - a detective who spends as much of his time debating the existence of God as he does solving cases - to determine exactly what happened on that darkest day, and unravel a web of sinister family secrets in the process . . . 'A thrillingly complex case' Sunday Times 'Told with wry humour and compassion, Nesser has four more Barbarotti stories to come - cherish them all' Daily Mail Zusammenfassung A dysfunctional family go into meltdown when two members go missing one snowy night.
