The follow-up to }The Hummingbird{, this is set in a northern Finnish town, as Anna Fekete and her partner Esko return to investigate a series of cases, involving drugs, gangs and illegal immigrants. It won the 'Clue of the Year' award, and a film is in production. When an old man is found dead on the road - seemingly run over by a Hungarian au pair - police investigator Anna Fekete is certain that there is more to the incident than meets the eye. As she begins to unravel an increasingly complicated case , she's led on a deadly trail where illegal immigration, drugs and ultimately murder threaten not only her beliefs, but her life. Anna's partner Esko is entrenched in a similarly dangerous investigation. As the two cases come together, it becomes clear that having the law on their side may not be enough.
