He is appalled by their Viking customs—the wanton sexuality of their pale, angular women, their disregard for cleanliness . . . their cold-blooded human sacrifices. But it is not until they reach the depths of the Northland that the courtier learns the horrifying and inescapable truth: He has been enlisted by these savage, inscrutable warriors to help combat a terror that plagues them—a monstrosity that emerges under cover of night to slaughter the Vikings and devour their flesh . . .<

Harry Bosch tiene la oportunidad de reabrir un caso en el que trabajó en el pasado y que había quedado sin resolución; se traga del asesinato de Marie Gesto, una joven desaparecida años atrás. Bosch tuvo siempre el presentimiento de que nunca encontrarían con vida a Gesto y cuando las circunstancias le forzaron a cerrar el caso, se quedó con la desagradable sensación de haber dejado escapar al culpable por obviar un detalle de la investigación. Por ello recibe, entre escéptico y aliviado, la confesión de un hombre que alega estar detrás del asesinato de la joven. Las circunstancias que envuelven el caso son atípicas dado el interés de un político por llegar a un pacto con el presunto culpable. Arguye que resultaría beneficioso paa ambas partes: el detenido detallaría qué pasócon otros casos irresolutos cuya autoría se atribuye, evitando así la pena de muerte. A Bosch no le gusta la propuesta, pero no puede reprimir su deseo de cerrar un caso que le ha inquietado durante años.<

In this odyssey of self-discovery, Maria has to choose between pursuing a path of darkness -- sexual pleasure for its own sake -- or risking everything to find her own "inner light" and the possibility of sacred sex, sex in the context of love.
