Magnus Trygg is a happy man. He loves his Swedish wife, his two
young children and his home in the sparsely populated northern
county of Jämtland. He is proud of his job as a junior policeman
in the local force and, though half-Thai, he has always thought of
himself as fully Swedish.
Then a young Kurdish girl is found in the forest, tied to a stake
and shot. Magnus, waiting with the body throughout the long summer
night until an Inspector is available, discovers the murder
weapon. It suggests an honour killing, and he is ordered to bring
in the father. But Magnus knows Hashmet Nazif, likes him, and is
reluctant to believe he would harm his daughter. Unsettled by the
sudden explosion of anti-immigrant feeling, he decides to use his
local knowledge to uncover anything that may suggest a different
truth. It is a very dangerous decision.
