Erik Winter is the youngest Chief Inspector in Sweden; he wears sharp suits, cooks gourmet meals, has a penchant for jazz, and is about to become a father. In addition, he is dealing with aging parents while trying to solve a gruesome murder. The city of Gothenburg is preparing to celebrate the millennium and the particularly lurid double murder leads Winter into the world of Goths and the possibility that someone on the force is involved.
