Inger Johanne Vik, Swedish criminal psychologist and profiler, has previously assisted the Swedish police and the FBI in the US. Now living in Sweden, Inger Johanne works in the academic world. She has two daughters. The elder, Stina, is autistic and unwittingly witnesses a contract killing when the family is attending a wedding at a hotel; the murderer surprisingly saves Stina's life without giving away his identity. Inger decides to return to work with police detective Ingvar Nyman to assist in solving the crime. They discover that they are pursuing a serial killer, working for an American religious sect.
