About Stefan Ahnhem
An Invitation from the Publisher
Prologue
24 August 2007
Inga Dahlberg tried to push her thoughts in a different direction. If only for a few minutes. Towards the cloudless August sky or the music in her headphones. Towards the fact that she didn’t feel tired at all, even though she was on her third lap around the blue trail. Or towards Ramlösa Brunn Park, which was so lush and verdant it was impossible to see more than a few feet in any direction.
But like ants that inevitably find their way into the kitchen, her thoughts stubbornly kept returning to the plan she’d spent most of her waking time rehearsing these past few weeks. The plan that in less than three hours would be put into motion and change her whole life.
