As World War I approaches, a morose Swedish naval engineer named Lars Tobiasson-Svartman takes depth measurements of the dark bottom of the sea channels off the coast of Stockholm. While on a supposedly uninhabited island, he discovers a feral waif of a girl, Sara, who survives by fishing. The girl stirs something deep in Lars, and he becomes obsessed with keeping the girl his secret, even to the point of murder. Henning Mankell, known for his grim and morally troubling detective fiction, plumbs the inky depths of his main character`s soul--and it`s a desolate and disturbing place.
