Kaamos: Just before Christmas, the bleakest time of year in Lapland. The unrelenting darkness and extreme cold drive everyone just a little insane... perhaps enough to kill. A beautiful Somali immigrant is found dead in a snowfield, a racial slur carved into her chest. Heading the investigation is Inspector Kari Vaara, former big-city cop now lead detective of his small-town police force. Vaara knows he must keep this potentially explosive case out of the headlines.
