A brutal act and the only witness whose sick memory refuses to tell the truth. The return of the hypnotist in Commissioner Joona Linna' s eighth case.
Sixteen-year-old Jenny disappears on her way home from school. Five years later, her body turns up in a playground in central Stockholm. The perpetrator hanged the girl in a particularly cruel way — he pulled her onto a children' s climbing frame using a steel rope. Who can do something like that? Joona Linna enthusiastically embarks on the investigation. He suspects that Jenny may not be the only one.
Thanks to security cameras, the police manage to find an eyewitness, but it turns out that he is a mentally ill man. He doesn' t remember anything at all about what he saw. Joona therefore reconnects with hypnotist Erik Maria Barke. Will she help him uncover the truth?
