At fifty-nine years old, Valdemar Roos is tired of life. Working a job he hates, with a wife he barely talks to and two step-daughters he doesn' t get on with, he doesn' t have a lot to look forward to. Then, one day, a winning lottery ticket gives him an opportunity to start afresh. Without telling a soul, he quits his job and buys a hut in the remote Swedish countryside. Every day he travels down to this man-made oasis, returning each evening to his unsuspecting wife. Life couldn' t be better, until a young woman arrives in paradise . . . Anna Gambowska is a twenty-one-year-old recovering drug addict. On the run from the rehab centre she hated and an abusive relationship she can' t go back to, all Anna' s prayers are answered when she comes across a seemingly vacant hut in the Swedish woodland. But it' s not long before Anna' s ex discovers her location, and an incident occurs that will mar the lives of both Anna and Valdemar forever. Inspector Barbarotti doesn' t take much interest when a woman reports her husband as missing. That is, until a dead body is found near the missing man' s newly-bought hut, and Mr Roos becomes the number one murder suspect . . .
