Harry Hole found himself in a difficult situation - and that's putting it mildly. In his apartment, the woman with whom he apparently spent the night shot herself - or was shot dead... The trouble is that he doesn’t remember anything. He's also investigating a bank robbery, an almost flawless crime, except that the robber shot and killed an employee for no apparent reason. Khole is sure that the murder was deliberate, but his superiors consider it a simple accident. Harry has countless enemies, many are happy to set him up, and once again he has to enter into a dangerous game with the law in order to defeat Evil...
