Early in the morning around New Year’s in 1990 a farmer in
Scania sees a harrowing sight. His neighbours have been murdered in the night.
During this inexplicaple act the murderers have used horrible torture. The only
lead which the police has is a word which was uttered by the old lady before
she died: “Foreign”. When this is leaked to the media, anti-immigration forces
begin to harass refugee camps. These forces become quite an enemy to the police
while they search for the unknown killers. The book was chosen as the best
Swedish crime novel in the Swedish Novel Academy in 1991. The same year the
book also won the Glass Key from the Scandinavian Crime Society as best novel.
