This is an automatically translated description
In the autumn of 1793, a disfigured corpse is found in the dead lake of Fatburen, where water washes away the garbage from all over Cedermalm. Cecil Winge, a former prosecutor who has helped the Stockholm police solve crimes more than once, takes on the case of the mysterious deceased. However, his health is deteriorating every day, and it seems that the case will be his swan song. Time is running out, and the coming winter promises to be the most difficult in decades."
Revealing the stories of the four protagonists of the novel, Niklas Nutt-o-Dag shows the reader the luxury and decay of the post-Gustavian era, the triumph of carnal desires and bloody crimes, disaster and despair - but also the hopes and aspirations for change that laid the foundations of modern Swedish society.
The young nobleman Erik Tre-Rusur is suffering in a Stockholm lunatic asylum. He is convinced that he has committed a terrible crime. The one-armed coat Jean-Michel Cardel and Emil Winge, brother of the late police commissioner Cecil Winge, are trying to figure out what happened in the old family estate with the idyllic name of the Three Roses. But are they ready for what they will find there? Will they have the strength to stand up to a cruel but infinitely confident enemy, a hellish beast in human form, on their own?
Niklas Nutt-o-Dag has written an eerie and powerful novel that reveals a country with a dark past, and part of the story is set on the island of Bartlemy, an overseas territory of Sweden where the slave trade flourished.
