This mystery, set in Sweden and partly in Scotland, has two crimes being investigated by different police officers, both of whom seem to be trying to figure out what they really want from their lives.. One crime involves the mysterious death of a Swedish man in the heaths of Scotland. Did he really die of a heart attack while trying to track down the truth about his father's death in WW II? Who can he believe? Are people really telling him everything they know?
The other police officer is investigating a crime that may not be a crime. She is trying to find out what has happened to a woman who appears to be a victim of abuse. However, she cannot find the woman and the woman's father, her ex-husband and the man's sister are not telling the truth and she keeps getting told that there is no real evidence of a crime.
Both detectives get into very dangerous territory and neither of them is really able to solve their respective criimes. This is quite unique, I think, in most mysteries.
This story was well written, the author provides good details about all the characters and great descriptions of the locations in Sweden and Scotland.
