A horrific fire killed his six-year-old son, cut scars across his face, and ended his marriage, and on his first day back at the job after the terrible tragedy a body is discovered in one of the city's public parks. A beautiful female college student has been stoned to death and buried up to her neck, her body left bloody and exposed. The brutality of the crime shakes the whole country, but despite his own recent trauma - and the fact that his ex-wife's new boyfriend is also on the case - Henning is given the assignment. When the victim's boyfriend, a Pakistani native, is arrested, Henning feels certain the man is innocent. This was not simply a Middle Eastern-style honor killing in the face of adultery - it was a far more complicated gesture, and one that will drag Henning into a darkness he's never dreamed of. <p/><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>An intriguing new voice in crime. --NJ Cooper <p/> "This promises to be a crime fiction series worth watching." --<i>Library Journal<br> </i><br> "The careful revealing of clues, the clever twists, and the development of Henning Juul and the supporting characters make this a very promising start to a new series." --<i>Suspense Magazine <p/> </i>"Suspenseful, dark, and gritty, this is a must-read. --<i>Booklist <p/> </i>"A gripping narrative that begs comparison to Stieg Larsson<i>.</i>" --<i>Bookpage <p/> </i>"The name is Thomas Enger.
