So when the girlfriend of an infamous author insists her scandalous beau is being blackmailed, Ulf Varg, the departments lead detective, is determined to help. It is rather difficult to discover, however, what skeletons might be hiding in the closet of a man whose bad behavior is his greatest calling card. The case requires Ulfs total concentration, but he finds himself distracted by his ongoing attraction to his coworker Anna, whose marriage is on a rocky footing. When Ulf is also tasked with looking into a group of dealers exporting wolves that seem more Canis familiaris than Canis lupus, it will require all of his teams investigative instincts and dogged persistence to put these matters to bed.
