    On the floor of a church in northern Sweden, the body of a man lies ritually mutilated and defiled and in the night sky, the aurora borealis dances as the snow begins to fall. Rebecka Martinsson is heading home to Kiruna, the small town she'd left in disgrace years before. A Stockholm tax lawyer, Rebecka has a good reason to return: her friend Sanna, whose brother has been horrifically murdered in the church of the cult he helped create. Beautiful and fragile, Sanna needs someone like Rebecka to remove the shadow of guilt that is engulfing her, to forestall an ambitious prosecutor, and to confront the rumours circulating in a closed and frightened community. But to help her friend, and to find the real killer of a man she once adored and is now not sure she ever knew, Rebecka must relive the darkness she left behind in Kiruna, delve into a sordid conspiracy of deceit, and confront a killer whose motives are dark and impossible to guess.

    Op midzomernacht wordt in het noorden van Zweden de feministische predikante Mildred Nilsson dood aangetroffen. Ze is opgehangen aan haar voeten, in de kerk. Nilsson - een herrieschopper, die met zowel haar werkgever, de mannen in het dorp als de jachtvereniging in conflict is geraakt - had veel vijanden. Toch loop het politieonderzoek vast. Als een paar maanden later juriste Rebecka Martinsson belastend materiaal vindt en dat aan de politie overhandigt, blaast zij onbedoeld het politieonderzoek nieuw leven in. Twee jaar eerder was zij in dezelfde streek aanwezig om de moord op religieuze leider Viktor Strandgard te onderzoeken. De overeenkomsten tussen de moorden zijn zodanig dat de politie op zoek is naar een copycat. Het spoor is afgekoeld, maar in het dorp Poikkijärvi, waar de predikant woont, is de waarheid onder de oppervlakte pijnlijk aanwezig.
