About the book: On All Hallows' Eve, ex-convict Peter Boutrup is
visiting his best friend's grave when her estranged mother appears. Her
son, Magnus, has disappeared, and she begs Peter to look for him.
The
next day a young nun is pulled out of the moat at the convent in
Djursland. She has been garroted and Peter, who works there as a
carpenter, was the last person to see her alive. Meanwhile, diver Kir
Rjel finds an old box resting on the seabed. Inside are human bones.
They are sixty years old, but the victim had also been garroted.
While
Peter is looking for Magnus, Detective Mark Bille Hansen is assigned to
the case. He is determined to link the bones in the box with the girl
in the moat - but the hunt for the truth leads both he and Peter down a
path so dark, they fear they may never return.
