Észak- és Dél-Írország határán, néhány nappal karácsony előtt megtalálják Angela Cashell, egy helyi kamaszlány holttestét. A nyomozást a kétgyerekes családapa, Benedict Devlin felügyelő vezeti, és mindössze két nyom áll rendelkezésére: egy aranygyűrű az áldozat ujján és egy régi fénykép. Nem sokkal később újabb tinédzsert gyilkolnak meg, és a helyzet még tovább bonyolódik, amikor Devlin rájön, hogy aktuális esetének köze van egy prostituált huszonöt évvel korábbi eltűnéséhez. Miközben a havazás egyre erősödik, nemcsak az észak és dél, hanem a jó és rossz, a bosszú és igazságszolgáltatás közötti határ is elmosódik. Az ír Brian McGilloway első regénye nem véletlenül nyűgözte le hazai közönségét: fordulatokban bővelkedő cselekménye és árnyalt karakterei kötelező olvasmánnyá tették a krimirajongók számára.
