Den döende detektiven
After a mild stroke leaves his right side paralyzed, the doctor tells our protagonist – Sweden’s most successful detective – that a total change of lifestyle is required. She then goes on to tell him about something that’s been weighing on her mind: her father, a priest, now deceased, once received a confession from a woman saying that she knew the man who raped and killed a nine-year-old girl in 1985. The doctor asks the retired detective to investigate. The case being unsolved and also too old to be prosecuted, the partially handicapped detective enlists a former colleague to help. In between trying to escape his new dietary regime, he follows the cold trail left by a pedophile killer in the Swedish summer. All the while unsure of what to do if he actually finds him. Should he let the old testament rule apply? An eye for an eye?
