'The bodies of two Syrian immigrants lay on Loki’s Leap, an infamous rock face found on the outskirts of a small Swedish town. Their skulls are smashed in. One of the bodies is clutching a camera and the other body is dressed head to toe in running gear. When the brilliant DI Johanna Apelgren arrives on the scene, she is determined to uncover the truth behind this gruesome murder that appears to be racially motivated. With the Sons of Odin in town, a violent law-hopping motor cycle gang, known for their hostility to immigrants, Apelgren knew trouble was lurking on the horizon.
But why would the Sons of Odin murder two innocent immigrants just before the Midsummer Festival? Apelgren is quick off the mark and much to the horror of her senior, Liedholm, attempts to ruffle the feathers of politician Stefan Mattson. His outwardly anti-immigrant stance made him a Swedish celebrity in the recent election. Could the leader of the The Nordic Democrats be guilty for inspiring hate crimes among his people? What is he hiding?
Along with her partner, DS Andreas Stenman, Apelgren goes to Mariehem to break the news to the two victims’ families. But the fathers react strangely to the news, racially abusing each other instead of expressing grief. The Farouq’s are Sunni Muslims and the Olikara’s are Christian Syrians; the two men are adamant that their sons did not know each other and are disgusted at the thought. Later, whilst attempting to question the Aryan outlaws, Apelgren receives a shocking call. Kurt Nilsson, a member of the notorious gang, has confessed to the double murder. Despite her investigation squad’s eagerness to swallow Nilsson’s confession, Apelgren remains suspicious.
Then, in a cruel twist of fate, shocking forensic evidence comes back.
Accessed deleted files from Iskhaq’s camera prove that him and Omar were better acquainted than their parents let on. Why did the family lie? And why has there been an enormous payment made between The Nordic Democrats and the Sons of Odin - are they working together? Could the brutal murders be a calculated distraction to prevent the police from seeing the bigger picture? With the Midsummer Festival looming, a bitter partner and a bully for a superior, DI Apelgren races against the clock to solve the crime.'
