Hardback: Irene Huss is a former Ju-Jitsu champion, a mother of twin teenage girls, the wife of a successful chef, and a Detective Inspector in the Violent Crimes Unit in Göteburg, Sweden.
One nurse lies dead and another vanishes after their hospital is hit by a blackout.
The only witness claims to have seen Nurse Tekla doing her rounds, but Nurse Tekla died sixty years ago.
Irene Huss of the Violent Crimes Unit has the challenge of disentangling wandering ghosts and complex human relationships to get to the bottom of this intriguing case.
