Detective: Irene  Huss
Setting    ; Gothenburg, Sweden
Time       ; Current
Genre:       Scandi Noir

This opens with the murder of a Swedish Pastor and his wife and also  their son at a nearby cottage. Their are suggestions that the murder may have been committed by Satanists whom the Pastor has been trying to identify through the internet following an arson attack which  destroyed a local church. The only surviving member of the family, a computer expert living in London is too traumatised to offer useful information. 

Irene Huss and her colleagues pursue the possibility of Satanic links but eventually another, less esoteric but sinister motive emerges.
