DANCE OF DEATH

DÖDSDANSEN – DANCE OF DEATH

By Maria Grund

IT IS LATE summer on the remote island off Sweden’s east coast, when a young man is discovered erratically wandering around, naked and confused in the forest. Sanna Berling is called to the scene. She has just returned to work in her new role as a local police officer in a small village on the island, as she does not want to work with violent crimes again. 

WHEN THE MAN turns out to be severely injured and dies at the scene, she is reluctantly dragged into a new murder investigation. In a disturbing way, her search for the truth uncovers new dark secrets. 

FEAR AND MISTRUST stirs behind the small town’s facade of tranquility. Teenage boys savagely kick and beat each other up in deserted spaces. A group of teenage girls mysteriously hold the small village in their grip. Meanwhile the forest is alive with secrets, full of eyes and shadows. 

TOGETHER WITH HER colleague Eir Pedersen, Sanna is swept into the murder investigation, while still being haunted by the disturbing memories of three years earlier, when a teenager committed a series of violent murders and then disappeared without a trace.
