Le prime vittime sono due donne. Ritrovate con ventiquattro ferite identiche in bocca. Morte soffocate nel loro sangue, dopo una agonia atroce. Omicidi studiati, efferati, che seguono un rituale. La polizia criminale di Oslo sa di avere un solo uomo che può risolvere il caso. Harry Hole, alcolista, uomo rude e solitario, inviso a molti. Ma Hole si è rintanato a Hong Kong, tra le fumerie d'oppio, per lavare via i ricordi.Sa fin troppo bene che, per risolvere l'ultimo caso, ha messo in pericolo di vita l'unica donna che ha mai davvero amato.

La città di Oslo è sommersa da una spessa coltre di neve e tutti, come ogni anno, aspettano con impazienza il Natale. L'Esercito della Salvezza lavora a tempo pieno per raccogliere fondi per i tossici, i rifugiati, i senzatetto, e i bravi cittadini si affrettano a fare donazioni per sentirsi in pace con la coscienza. Solo Harry Hole non si accorge di tutta la smania di bontà che lo circonda; il suo pensiero fisso è come sempre il whisky. Quando, però, durante un concerto di beneficenza, un membro dell'Esercito della Salvezza viene giustiziato in mezzo alla folla, il commissario decide di occuparsi delle indagini.

Stavolta per Harry Hole non si tratta di tornare. Ma di resuscitare. «Harry abbassò lo sguardo sulla carta di credito. Conto svuotato. Missione compiuta: bersi tutto quanto. Niente soldi, niente giorni, niente futuro. Alla pensione, sotto il materasso, c'era la vecchia Beretta comprata dal senzatetto. Aveva tre proiettili. Restava da capire se avrebbe avuto abbastanza fegato per farla finita». Un amico spacciatore di coca, uno sbirro corrotto e uno psicologo malato di cancro. È questa la squadra che Harry Hole è riuscito a mettere insieme. E chissà se ce la farà a salvarlo dal precipizio.

Sono passati tre anni da quando Harry Hole è andato via. Via da Oslo, via dalla polizia, via dalla donna che amava. Ma ora ha un valido motivo per tornare: Oleg, il ragazzo che ha cresciuto come un figlio, è in carcere, con l'accusa di aver ucciso il suo migliore amico. Secondo gli investigatori è un regolamento di conti nel mondo della droga, ma Hole non ci crede. E per dimostrare l'innocenza del ragazzo deve lottare contro il tempo, in cerca di una verità diversa da quella già decretata.
