It is the first thaw of spring and the body of a young woman surfaces in the River Thorne in the far north of Sweden. Rebecka Martinsson is working as a prosecutor in nearby Karuna. Joining forces once again with Police Inspectors Anna-Maria Mella and Sven-Erik Stlnacke, Rebecka is drawn into an investigation that centres on old rumours about a plane carrying supplies for German troops in 1943 that never arrived. And on the windswept shore of a frozen lake lurks a killer who will kill again to keep the past buried.
