This is an automatically translated description

The body of a homeless woman with a bullet in her head is found in a small park in the centre of Ljubljana. A day later, a similar murder occurs on Metelkova Street, a centre of alternative culture in the Slovenian capital. Both victims are socially unadapted people who pose no threat to anyone. An ambiguous signature is found near the crime scenes, perhaps left by the killer? Are these cases connected?

The reasons for the murders can be either purely private or rooted in the neo-Nazi views of a certain part of society. A new government is being installed in the country after the elections, so the work of the police is being closely monitored. Detectives Taras Birsa and Tina Lants, already known to the reader from the novel The Lake, are conducting the investigation, while trying to sort out their complicated relationship. At the same time, Ljubljana is suffering from an abnormal heat wave, and a threat seems to be lurking in the heavy, stuffy air.
