Publisher's Synopsis
Criminal investigating officer Hanne Wilhelmsen is sent to a macabre crime scene on the outskirts of Oslo: an abandoned shed covered in blood. On one wall is an eight-digit number written in blood. There is no sign of a victim - is it just a prank, or foul play? As more bloody numbers are found throughout Oslo, Hanne's colleague Håkon Sand discovers that the eight-digit number corresponds to the filing number of foreign immigrants waiting to be granted Norwegian citizenship - all female, all missing. When a dead body is finally unearthed, Hanne and Håkon fear they have a serial killer on their hands.
