Meet detective Erik Winter. He is the youngest chief inspector in Sweden; he wears sharp suits, cooks gourmet meals, has a penchant for jazz; and he is about to become a father. Winter's troubles abound - a bloody double murder on his doorstep is only the beginning.In Sun and Shadow, a couple entertains a stranger in an apartment in Gothenburg, but his choice of death metal music isn't quite what they had in mind. This particular illicit rendezvous will prove to be their last.What greets Chief Inspector Winter and his team when they arrive appears as a stage setting, grotesquely symbolic in its composition. While Winter trawls ads in men's magazines in search of the missing party guest, a trail of clues left by the killer leads into the cult world of the gothic. A riddle of nightmares, of good versus evil, of sun and shadow. When the investigation unearths a possible link between the murders and the police force, even friendly faces are not to be trusted, and when the killer strikes again, possibly closer to home, Winter is in a race against time before someone he loves gets hurt.
