Itβs midsummer in Swedenβwhen the light lingers through dawn and a long, isolating winter finally comes to an end. In this magical time, a brutal killer has chosen to strike. A female priestβwho made enemies and acolytes in equal numberβhas been found hanging in her church. And a big-city lawyer quite acquainted with death enters the scene as police and parishioners try to pick up the pieces.... Not long ago, attorney Rebecka Martinsson had to kill three men in order to stop an eerily similar murder spreeβone that also involved a priest. Now she is back in Kiruna, the region of her birth, while a determined policewoman gnaws on the case and people who loved or loathed the victim mourn or revel in her demise. The further Rebecka is drawn into the mysteryβa mystery that will soon take another victimβthe more the dead womanβs world clutches her: a world of hurt and healing, sin and sexuality, and, above all, of sacrifice.
