The events of a fateful summer night 25 years ago return to haunt the inhabitants of the icy winter gloom of a Sweden in this first installment of the adventures of detectives Freddy Larson and Robin Webster. Atmospheric and as dense as a rolling fog, this tale of a group of long-missing boys begins with a tall stranger landing on a barren island. The island is not as deserted as it seems, however, and the stranger is not the only person who has been forced to call the island home.
