A twelve-year-old boy runs into the local police station, claiming to have seen a corpse in the woods. Errki Johrma, an escaped psychiatric patient, was spotted at the scene, before vanishing into the trees.
The next morning a bank in a nearby town is robbed at gunpoint. The gunman takes a hostage and flees. As his plans starts to come apart he, unlike his passive hostage, rapidly loses control. Meanwhile the search for the killer has developed into a manhunt - everyone is looking for the enigmatic Errki.
This is the third book about Inspector Sejer.
Fascinating reading.
