Reinhardt and Kristine Ris were in the habit of taking a walk in the woods at the weekend. The man they passed as they set off on the latest walk stuck in Kristine's mind, as he walked with a limp and resembled [[:Category:Hans Christian AndersonAndersen|Hans Christian Andersen]], but it didn't prepare her for the shock of finding a young boy's body, laid out on a mound. He had no trousers on, and – well you can imagine the rest.
The talk around the schools and playgrounds was of a man in a white car who cruised around, occasionally talking to the children but doing nothing more. It still left people unsettled. It was the beginning of a nightmare for Inspector Konrad Sejer and his assistant Jacob Skarre when another child disappeared within a matter of days. Jonas August – the dead child – had been stick thin and asthmatic. Edwin – the second child to disappear – was morbidly obese. With no clues as to what had happened to Edwin and no nearer to solving the death of Jonas August, Sejer and Skarre wonder where to turn next.
