- Mystery, Police in fiction, Murder in fiction, Police
Des animaux immolés par le feu, la tête et les mains d'une femme gisant près d'une bible aux pages griffonnées... Le commissaire Wallander est inquiet. Ces actes seraient-ils un prélude à des sacrifices humains de plus vaste envergure ? La propre fille de Wallander, impatiente d'entrer dans la police, se lance dans une enquête parallèle. Entraînée vers une secte fanatique résolue à punir le monde de ses péchés, elle va rapidement le regretter. [payot.ch]
